A332416 Positive integers r such that B(1,r) = B(2,r - 1) = ... = B(r,1) = 0, where B denotes the function mapping every pair of positive integers (m,n) into 1 if m * 2^(n + 2) + 1 is a prime number dividing F(n), where F(n) denotes the n-th Fermat number (i.e., F(n) = A000215(n)); and into 0 otherwise. 2

COMMENTS
Note that A332414 is a subsequence of this sequence.
Prime q = m*2^(n + 2) + 1 does not divide ((F(n + 2) - 1)^m - 1)/F(n) if and only if q divides F(n). Direct implication is Theorem 2.24 of my article (see the links). Proof of the reciprocal implication (by Wang): A001146(n) = 2^(2^n) == - 1 (mod q), so ((F(n + 2) - 1)^m - 1)/F(n) = Sum_{i = 0..4*m-1} (-1)^(i+1)*(2^(2^n))^i == -4*m (mod q).

EXAMPLE
3 is a term of this sequence, because B(1,3) = B(2,2) = B(3,1) = 0.
