For each positive integer n, let f(n) denote the number of ways of representing n as a sum of powers of 2 with nonnegative integer exponents. Representations which differ only in the ordering of their summands are considered to be the same. For instance, f(4) = 4, because the number 4 can be represented in the following four ways: 4; 2+2; 2+1+1; 1+1+1+1.

Prove that, for any integer n \geq 3 we have 2^{\frac {n^2}{4}} < f(2^n) < 2^{\frac {n^2}2}.
