A059934 Third step in Goodstein sequences, i.e. g(5) if g(2)=n: write g(4)=A057650(n) in hereditary representation base 4, bump to base 5, then subtract 1 to produce g(5). 5

EXAMPLE

a(12) = 15685 since with g(2) = 12 = 2^(2 + 1) + 2^2, we get g(3) = 3^(3 + 1) + 3^3-1 = 107 = 3^(3 + 1) + 2*3^2 + 2*3 + 2, g(4) = 4^(4 + 1) + 2*4^2 + 2*4 + 2-1 = 1065 and g(5) = 5^(5 + 1) + 2*5^2 + 2*5^1 + 1-1.
