Comments

Primes 1 + b^16384 are a form of generalized Fermat primes.

It is conjectured that a(n) is asymptotic to 0.000488872*li(10^n)

Example

a(5) = 1 because the generalized Fermat numbers F_14(b) where b<10^5 are prime only for b = 67234.

Prog

(PARI) a(n) = sum(b=1, 10^n/2-1, isprime((2*b)^16384+1))
