Comments

The initial terms coincide with those of A003950, although the two sequences are eventually different.

First disagreement at index 28: a(28) = 525698898908274241116316, A003950(28) = 525698898908274241116344. - Klaus Brockhaus, May 24 2011

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