%N A057429 Gaussian-Mersenne primes: numbers n such that (1+i)^n - 1 times its conjugate 
               is prime.
%C A057429 Equivalently, numbers n such that (1+i)^n - 1 is a Gaussian prime.
%C A057429 Note that n must be a rational prime. Also note that (1+i)^n+i or (1+i)^n-i 
               is also a Gaussian prime. - T. D. Noe (noe(AT)sspectra.com), Jan
