COMMENT

This is a divisibility sequence; that is, if n divides m, then a(n) divides a(m). The point at infinity is counted also. [From T. D. Noe (noe(AT)sspectra.com), Mar 12 2009]

FORMULA

a(n) = 2^n + 1 - b(n), b(n)=b(n-1)-2*b(n-2), b(1)=1, b(2)=-3. b(n)=A002249(n).

G.f.: [2x-4x^3]/[(1-x)(1-2x)(1-x+2x^2)].

MATHEMATICA

Needs["FiniteFields`"]; Table[cnt=1; (* 1 point at infinity *) f=Table[GF[2, n][IntegerDigits[i, 2, n]], {i, 0, 2^n-1}]; Do[If[y^2+x*y-x^3-x^2-x==0, cnt++ ], {x, f}, {y, f}]; cnt, {n, 6}] [From T. D. Noe (noe(AT)sspectra.com), Mar 12 2009]
