%N Ascending descending base exponent transform of squares (A000290).

%C 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. The smallest prime in this sequence is a(2) = 5. What is the next prime? What is the first square value after 1?

%e a(1) = 1 because (1^2)^(1^2) = 1^1 = 1.

%e a(2) = 5 because (1^2)^(4^1) + (4^1)^(1^4) = 1^4 + 4^1 = 5.
