%N Numbers that match polynomials over {0,1} that have a factor containing -2 as a coefficient; see Comments.

%C The polynomials having coefficients in {0,1} are enumerated at A206073. They include the following:

%C p(1,x) = 1

%C p(2,x) = x

%C p(3,x) = x + 1

%C p(4,x) = x^2

%C p(663,x) = 1 + x + x^2 + x^4 + x^7 + x^9 = (x + 1)*f(x), where f(x) = 1 + x^2 - x^3 + 2 x^4 - 2 x^5 + 2 x^6 - x^7 + x^8. This show that a factor of p(663,x) has a factor that has -2 as a coefficient. Actually, 663 is the least n for which p(n,x) has a coefficient not in {-1,0,1,2}.

%C The enumeration scheme for all nonzero polynomials with coefficients in {0,1} is introduced in Comments at A206073. The sequence A206073 itself enumerates only those polynomials that are irreducible over the ring of polynomials having integer coefficients; therefore, A206073 and A208180 are disjoint.
