Comments

"Encoded in binary representation" means that a polynomial a(n)*X^n+...+a(0)*X^0 over GF(2) is represented by the binary number a(n)*2^n+...+a(0)*2^0 in Z (where each coefficient a(k) = 0 or 1).

Subsequence with Hamming weight nonprime starts 2, 1019, 1279, 1531, 1663, 1759, 1783, 1789, 2011, 2027, 2543, 2551, ... [Joerg Arndt, Nov 01 2013]. These are now given by A255569. - Antti Karttunen, May 14 2015

Intersection of A014580 and A000040.

Apart from a(2) = 3 a subsequence of A027697. The numbers in A027697 but not here are listed in A238186.

Also subsequence of A235045 (its primes. Cf. also A235041-A235042).
