On Feb. 24, 2009, Zhi-Wei Sun conjectured that a(n)=0 if and only if n<16 or n=18, 21, 24, 51, 84, 1011, 59586; in other words, except for 35, 41, 47, 101, 167, 2021, 119171, any odd integer greater than 30 can be written as the sum of a prime congruent to 1 mod 6, a positive power of 2 and eleven times a positive power of 2. Sun verified the conjecture for odd integers below 5*10^7, and Qing-Hu Hou continued the verification for odd integers below 1.5*10^8 (on Sun's request). Compare the conjecture with Crocker's result that there are infinitely many positive odd integers not of the form p+2^x+2^y with p an odd prime and x,y positive integers.

FORMULA

a(n)=|{<p,x,y>: p+2^x+11*2^y=2n-1 with p a prime congruent to 1 mod 6 and x,y positive integers}|

EXAMPLE
|
For n=19 the a(19)=2 solutions are 2*19-1=7+2^3+2*11=13+2+2*11.
