Comments

The initial terms coincide with those of A003953, although the two sequences are eventually different.

First disagreement at index 23: a(23) = 109999999999999999999945, A003953(23) = 110000000000000000000000. - Klaus Brockhaus, Apr 19 2011

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