COMMENTS
k >= 2; g >= 3.
The base k-1 reading of the base 10 string of A094626(g).
Exoo and Jajcay Theorem 1: M(k,g) <= A054760(k,g) with equality if and only if: k = 2 and g >= 3; g = 3 and k >= 2; g = 4 and k >= 2; g = 5 and k = 2, 3, 7 or possibly 57; or g = 6, 8, or 12, and there exists a symmetric generalized n-gon of order k - 1.

FORMULA
M(k,2i) = 2 sum_{j=0}^{i-1}(k-1)^j = string "2"^i read in base k-1.
M(k,2i+1) = (k-1)^i + 2 sum_{j=0}^{i-1}(k-1)^j = string "1"*"2"^i read in base k-1.
Recurrence:
M(k,3) = k + 1,
M(k,2i) = M(k,2i-1) + (k-1)^(i-1),
M(k,2i+1) = M(k,2i) + (k-1)^i.
