COMMENTS
The initial terms coincide with those of A003953, although the two sequences are eventually different.
First disagreement at index 18: a(18) = 1099999999999999945, A003953(18) = 1100000000000000000. - Klaus Brockhaus, Mar 27 2011
Computed with MAGMA using commands similar to those used to compute A154638.
