%N Integers of the form Sum_{j in 0:p-1} x^j*y^(p-j-1) where x and y are positive integers with max(x, y) >= 2 and p is some prime.

%C Equivalently these are the integers represented by a cyclotomic binary form Phi_p(x,y) where p is prime and x and y are positive integers with max(x,y) >= 2. A cyclotomic binary form (over Z) is a homogeneous polynomial in two variables of the form f(x, y) = y^phi(k)*Phi(k, x/y) where Phi(k, z) is a cyclotomic polynomial of index k and phi is Euler's totient function.

%C An efficient and safe calculation of this sequence requires a precise knowledge of the range of possible solutions of the associated Diophantine equations. The bounds used in the Julia program below were specified by Fouvry, Levesque and Waldschmidt.

%e Let p denote an odd prime. Subsequences are numbers of the form

%e 2^p - 1, (A001348) (x = 1, y = 2) (Mersenne numbers),

%e p*2^(p - 1), (A299795) (x = 2, y = 2),

%e (3^p - 1)/2, (A003462) (x = 1, y = 3),

%e 3^p - 2^p, (A135171) (x = 2, y = 3),

%e p*3^(p - 1), (A027471) (x = 3, y = 3),

%e (4^p - 1)/3, (A002450) (x = 1, y = 4),

%e 2^(p-1)*(2^p-1), (A006516) (x = 2, y = 4),

%e 4^p - 3^p, (A005061) (x = 3, y = 4),

%e p*4^(p - 1), (A002697) (x = 4, y = 4),

%e (p^p-1)/(p-1), (A023037),

%e p^p, (A000312, A051674).

%e .

%e The generalized cuban primes A007645 are a subsequence, as are the quintan primes A002649, the septan primes and so on.

%e All primes in this sequence less than 1031 are generalized cuban primes. 1031 is an element because 1031 = f(5,2) where f(x,y) = x^4 + y*x^3 + y^2*x^2 + y^3*x + y^4, however 1031 is not a cuban prime because 1030 is not divisible by 6.
