COMMENT

5th power analogue of Carol numbers A091515. Exponent 5 analogue of what for exponent 2 is A091516 Carol primes (2^n-1)^2 - 2 = 4^n - 2^{n+1} - 1, and exponent 3 is A098878 (2^n - 1)^3 - 2. Primes include a(n) for n = 0, 2, 5, 6. These are "near-5th-power prime." Semiprimes include a(n) for n = 3, 8, 9, 10, 13, 15, 21, 29, 33, 40. - Jonathan Vos Post (jvospost2(AT)yahoo.com), May 03 2006
