%F a(n) = (((D_k^D_(k-1))^D_(k-2))^...)^D_1, where D_k = k-th digit D of number n and k = the number of digits of number n in decimal expansion of n (A055642).

%e For n = 33: a(33) = 27 because for the number 33 there are 4 steps of defined iteration: {3^3 = 27}, {7^2 = 49}, {9^4 = 6561}, {((1^6)^5)^6 = 1} and the 1st step of the iteration ends with 27.
