%C A002064 Binomial transform is A084859. Inverse binomial transform is A004277. - _Paul Barry_, Jun 12 2003
%C A002064 Let A be the Hessenberg matrix of order n defined by: A[1,j]=1, A[i,i]:=2,(i>1), A[i,i-1] =-1, and A[i,j]=0 otherwise. Then, for n>=1, a(n-1)= (-1)^(n-1)*coeff(charpoly(A,x),x). - _Milan Janjic_, Jan 26 2010
%C A002064 Indices of primes are listed in A005849. - _M. F. Hasler_, Jan 18 2015
%C A002064 Add the list of fractions beginning with 1/2 + 3/4 + 7/8 + ... + (2^n - 1)/2^n and take the sums pairwise from left to right. For 1/2 + 3/4 = 5/4, 5 + 4 = 9 = a(2); for 5/4 + 7/8 = 17/8, 17 + 8 = 25 = a(3); for 17/8 + 15/16 = 49/16, 49 + 16 = 65 = a(4); for 49/16 + 31/32 = 129/32, 129 + 32 = 161 = a(5). For each pairwise sum a/b, a + b = n*2^(n+1). - _J. M. Bergot_, May 06 2015
%C A002064 Number of divisors of (2^n)^(2^n). - _Gus Wiseman_, May 03 2021
%C A002064 Named after the Irish Jesuit priest James Cullen (1867-1933), who checked the primality of the terms up to n=100. - _Amiram Eldar_, Jun 05 2021
