EXAMPLE
a(2) = ceiling(a(0)^(4/3) + a(1)^(4/3)) = ceiling(1^(4/3) + 1^(4/3)) = 2.
a(3) = ceiling(a(1)^(4/3) + a(2)^(4/3)) = ceiling(1^(4/3) + 2^(4/3)) = ceiling(3.5198421) = 4.
a(4) = ceiling(2^(4/3) + 4^(4/3)) = ceiling(8.86944631) = 9.
a(5) = ceiling(4^(4/3) + 9^(4/3)) = ceiling(25.0703586) = 26.
a(6) = ceiling(9^(4/3) + 26^(4/3)) = ceiling(95.7456522) = 96.
a(7) = ceiling(26^(4/3) + 96^(4/3)) = ceiling(516.595167) = 517.
a(8) = ceiling(96^(4/3) + 517^(4/3)) = ceiling(4588.99022) = 4589.
