COMMENT

Smallest base value yielding generalized Fermat primes. - Hugo Pfoertner (hugo(AT)pfoertner.org), Jul 01 2003
The first 5 terms correspond with the known (ordinary) Fermat primes. A probable candidate for the next entry is 62722^131072+1, discovered by Michael Angel in 2003. It has 628808 decimal digits. - Hugo Pfoertner (hugo(AT)pfoertner.org), Jul 01 2003
