Comments

The initial terms coincide with those of A170769, although the two sequences are eventually different.

First disagreement at index 18: a(18) = 2705847801897605583447983041225, A170769(18) = 2705847801897605583447983042450.

Computed with MAGMA using commands similar to those used to compute A154638.
