Comments

This sequence assumes nonstandard indexing of continued fraction terms as [a_1; a_2, a_3, ...]. If you use the actual offset from A001203, corresponding to [a_0; a_1, a_2, ...], you get instead 0, 1, 2, 4, 307, 431, 28421, ... Compare with A033092 versus A224849. - Jeppe Stig Nielsen, Dec 14 2019
