COMMENTS

If this sequence is infinite then so is A124401.

Equals A127965(n)/2.

The sum has the simple closed form 1 + 2/3*(4^n-1). - Stefan Steinerberger, Nov 24 2007

Terms beyond a(30) correspond to probable primes, cf. A000978. [From M. F. Hasler, Aug 29 2008]

Table of n, a(n) for n=1..40.

FORMULA

a(n) = floor[ A000978(n)/2 ] = ceil( log[4](A000979(n))) ; A000978(n) = 2 a(n) + 1 ; A000979(n) = (2*4^a(n)+1)/3. [From M. F. Hasler, Aug 29 2008]

EXAMPLE

a(1)=1 because 1 + 2 = 3 is prime;

a(2)=2 because 1 + 2 + 2^3 = 11 is prime;

a(3)=3 because 1 + 2 + 2^3 + 2^5 = 43 is prime;

a(4)=5 because 1 + 2 + 2^3 + 2^5 + 2^7 + 2^9 = 683 is prime;

a = {}; Do[If[PrimeQ[1 + Sum[2^(2n - 1), {n, 1, x}]], AppendTo[a, x]], {x, 1, 1000}]; a
