COMMENTS

After 2, can this ever be prime? This is to A001923 Sum k^k, k=1..n, as k^k^k is to k^k.

FORMULA

a(n) = sum[i=0..n] i^i^i. a(n) = sum[i=0..n] i^(i^2). a(n) = sum[i=0..n] (i^i)^i. In this sequence, we formally define 0^0 = 1.

EXAMPLE

a(0) = 1 because A002489(0) is given formally as 0^0^0 = 1.

a(1) = 2 because 1 + 1^1^1 = 1 + 1 = 2.

a(2) = 18 because 2 + 2^2^2 = 2 + 16 = 18.

a(3) = 19701 because 18 + 3^3^3 = 18 + 19683 = 19701.

a(4) = 4294986997 = 19701 + 4^4^4 = 19701 + 4294967296.
