At first the numbers appeared quite arbitrary but helpfully the comment is made that these numbers are the known Fermat primes. These are primes of the form: It is conjectured that there are only five values of that produce such primes, namely corresponding to . It has been confirmed that values of k such that produce composite numbers.
Of course, these primes are not be confused with the Mersenne primes that are of the form and that are probably infinite in number.
In the comments for OEIS AO63799, it's also stated that no Fermat prime is a Brazilian number which of course immediately prompted me to find what defined a Brazilian number. These numbers are listed in OEIS A125134 and defined as:
All even numbersNumberssuch that there is a natural number with such that the representation of in base has all equal digits.
