A003101 is the ascending descending base exponent transform of natural numbers A000027. The ascending descending base exponent transform applied to the Fibonacci numbers is A113122; applied to the tribonacci numbers is A113153; applied to the Lucas numbers is A113154. Since the parity of the triangular numbers cycles odd, odd, even, even; the parity of this sequence cycles odd, even, even, even. The smallest prime in this sequence is a(5) = 127601. What is the next prime? What is the first triangular value?

FORMULA
|
a(n) = Sum_{i=1..n} (T(i))^(T(n-i+1)), where T(n) are the triangle numbers.
a(n) = Sum_{i=1..n} ((i*(i+1)/2))^((n-i+1)*(n-i+2)/2).

EXAMPLE
|
a(1) = 1 because T(1)^T(1) = 1^1 = 1.
a(2) = 4 because T(1)^T(2) + T(2)^T(1) = 1^3 + 3^1 = 4.
a(3) = 34 = 1^6 + 3^3 + 6^1.
a(4) = 956 = 1^10 + 3^6 + 6^3 + 10^1.
a(5) = 106721 = 1^15 + 3^10 + 6^6 + 10^3 + 15^1.
a(6) = 75818480 = 1^21 + 3^15 + 6^10 + 10^6 + 15^3 + 21^1.
a(7) = 490656737694 = 1^28 + 3^21 + 6^15 + 10^10 + 15^6 + 21^3 + 28^1.
a(8) = 22960404169011552 = 1^36 + 3^28 + 6^21 + 10^15 + 15^10 + 21^6 + 28^3 + 36^1.
a(9) = 7141530219670856270919 = 1^45 + 3^36 + 6^28 + 10^21 + 15^15 + 21^10 + 28^6 + 36^3 + 45^1.
