Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

A122618
a(n) = n_n, where "N_b" denotes "N read in base b": if N = Sum c_i 10^i then N_b = Sum c_i b^i.

The definition applies even if b < 10. Examples: 23_45 = 2*45 + 3 = 93, 23_2 = 2*2 + 3 = 7.
