COMMENT

By Zsigmondy's theorem, the n-th Zsigmondy number for bases a and b is not 1 except in the three cases (1) a = 2, b = 1, n = 1, (2) a = 2, b = 1, n = 6, (3) n = 2 and a+b is a power of 2.

Composite terms a(n) are the maximal overpseudoprimes to base 2 (see A141232) for which the multiplicative order of 2 mod a(n) equals n. - Vladimir Shevelev (shevelev(AT)bgu.ac.il), Aug 26 2008

a(n)=2^n-1 iff either n=1 or n is prime [From Vladimir Shevelev (shevelev(AT)bgu.ac.il), Sep 30 2008]
