Positive numbers k such that A007954(k) = A256229(k).
All numbers of the form xx1x...x with x x's are terms, as are numbers of the form xxx1x...x with x^x x's, and so on.
If the first two digits of a number are x,y, respectively, and if (x^(y-1))/y is a positive integer, then the number of the form xy1(...), where (...) is a sequence of digits whose product is (x^(y-1))/y, is a term. - Michal Gren, Nov 29 2018
EXAMPLE
6213 is a term since 6^2^1^3 = 6*2*1*3 = 36.
8^4 = 4096. 8*4 = 32. So 841 followed by any sequence of digits whose product is 4096/32 = 128 is in the sequence. - David A. Corneth, Nov 28 2018
