COMMENTS
a(6) is roughly 10^(5.72199*10^44).
EXAMPLE
a(4) = (a(1) + a(2) + a(3)) ^ (a(1)*a(2)*a(3)) = (1 + 1 + 2)^(1*1*2) = 4^2 = 16.
MATHEMATICA
a[1] = 1; a[n_] := a[n] = Sum[a[k], {k, n - 1}]^Product[a[k], {k, n - 1}]; Table[a[n], {n, 0, 5}] (* Michael De Vlieger, Aug 04 2016 *)
PROG
(PARI) a(n) = if(n==1, 1, if(n>1, sum(k=1, n - 1, a(k)) ^ prod(k=1, n - 1, a(k))))
