COMMENTS
The initial terms coincide with those of A003947, although the two sequences are eventually different.
First disagreement at index 18: a(18) = 85899345910, A003947(18) = 85899345920. - Klaus Brockhaus, Mar 27 2011
Computed with MAGMA using commands similar to those used to compute A154638.
