%N a(n) = A344142(n) - 2^n.
%C A more intuitive version of A344142.
%C In A057496 it is stated that if x^n + x^3 + x^2 + x + 1 is irreducible, then so is x^n + x^3 + 1. It follows that no term can be equal to 15.
%C It is conjectured that an irreducible polynomial of degree n with 5 terms exists for every n. It follows from the conjecture that for n >= 2, a(n) is of the form 2^k + 1 or an odd number with Hamming weight 4.
%C It is conjectured that no term can be of the form P_m(2^k), where P_m(x) = Product_{i>=0} (1 + x^(2^(d_i)))^(c_i) if the binary representation of m is m = Sum_{i>=0} c_i * 2^(d_i), k is an odd number. See my conjecture in A344177.

%o (PARI) A344186(n) = if(n==1, 0, for(k=1, n-1, if(polisirreducible(Mod(x^n+x^k+1, 2)), return(2^k+1))); for(a=3, n-1, for(b=2, a-1, for(c=1, b-1, if(polisirreducible(Mod(x^n+x^a+x^b+x^c+1, 2)), return(2^a+2^b+2^c+1)))))) \\ Assuming that an irreducible polynomial of degree n with at most 5 terms exists for every n.
