COMMENTS
The initial terms coincide with those of A003953, although the two sequences are eventually different.
First disagreement at index 17: a(17) = 109999999999999945, A003953(17) = 110000000000000000. - Klaus Brockhaus, Mar 30 2011
Computed with MAGMA using commands similar to those used to compute A154638.
