Comments

Given S = (n^n+k^k)/(n+k) (here k = 2), when k = 2^m for some m > 0, there are significantly less values of n that make S an integer. For k=3, see A242883.

Equivalently, (-2)^n + 4 == 0 (mod n + 2). - Robert Israel, Jun 10 2014

Odd terms are A033984(2..infinity) - 2. - Robert Israel, Jun 10 2014

Example

(5^5+2^2)/(5+2) = 3129/7 = 447 is an integer. Thus 5 is a member of this sequence.

Maple

filter:= proc(n) (-2)&^n + 4 mod (n+2) = 0 end proc;
