Corresponding smallest primes of the form (2n)^k +1 are listed in A084712[n] = {3,5,7,0,11,13,197,17,19,401,23,577,677,29,31,0,1336337,37,...} Smallest prime of the form (2n)^k +1, or 0 if no such number exists.

The first occurrence of a(k) = 2^n is k = {1,7,17,76,22,57,137,117,307,...} = A122528[n] Minimum number k such that (2k)^(2^n) + 1 is prime, or A079706[A122528(n)] = 2^n.

Corresponding primes A084712[A122528(n)] = {3,197,1336337,284936905588473857,197352587024076973231046657,...}. (End)

The terms a(32) and a(64) are known to be -1 because 2^(6k)+1 and 2^(7k)+1 are divisible by 4^k+1 and 2^k+1, respectively, for all k >0. Also, a(45)=2 because 8101 is prime. - T. D. Noe, May 13 2008
