%N Numbers of the form (4^k - 1)/3 whose greatest prime divisor is of the form 2^q - 1 or 2^q + 1.

%C The binary expansion of (4^k-1)/3 has no consecutive equal binary digits.

%C The corresponding values of k are 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 13, 14, 16, 17, 19, 26, 31, 34, 51, 61, 62, 89, 107, 122, 127, 178, 214, 254, 521, ... - _Amiram Eldar_, Mar 02 2020

%e (4^6-1)/3 = 1365 = 3 * 5 * 7 * 13 is not in the sequence because 13 is not of the form 2^q +/- 1 ;

%e (4^16-1)/3 = 1431655765 = 5 * 17 * 257 * 65537 and 65537 = 2^16 + 1.
