Comments

ChebyshevT[2^n, x] is the 2^n th Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind evaluated at x.

The corresponding numbers x are {2, 2, 2, 3, 2, 8, 164, 29, ...}.

a(7) = T(128, 29) = 2518958009…2561281 contains 226 decimal digits.

Examples

			T(1, x) = x => a(0) = T(1,2) = 2 ;
T(2, x) = 2x^2 - 1 => a(1) = T(2, 2) = 7 ;
T(4, x) = 8x^4 - 8x^2 + 1 => a(2) = T(4,2) = 97.
