%N Numbers k such that (4^k-1)/3 is not squarefree.

%C Contains all positive multiples of 9 (A008591), because 4^n-1 == 0 (mod 27) for these and (4^n-1)/3 is a multiple of 3^2 then. Contains also all positive multiples of 10 (A008592), because 4^n-1 == 0 (mod 125) for these and (4^n-1)/3 is a multiple of 5^2 then. Contains all positive multiples of 21 (A008603), because 4^n-1 == 0 (mod 147) for these and (4^n-1)/3 is a multiple of 7^2 then. - _R. J. Mathar_, Aug 02 2015

%C Complement of A259178. - _Omar E. Pol_, Aug 03 2015

%e (4^9-1)/3 = 3^2*7*19*73 is not squarefree, so 9 is in the sequence. - _R. J. Mathar_, Aug 02 2015
