From Vladimir Vesic, Oct 03 2015: (Start)
Forming Herbrand's domains of formula: (∃x)(∀y)(∀z)(∃k)(P(x)∨Q(y)∧R(k))
where: x->a
       k->f(y,z)
we get:
  H0 = {a}
  H1 = {a, f(a,a)}
  H2 = {a, f(a,a), f(a,f(a,a)), f(f(a,a),a), f(f(a,a),f(a,a))}
  ...
The number of elements in each domain follows this sequence.
(End)
It is an open question whether or not this sequence satisfies Benford's law [Berger-Hill, 2017] - N. J. A. Sloane, Feb 07 2017
This is a strong divisibility sequence; see A329429. - Clark Kimberling, Nov 13 2019
From Peter Bala, Oct 31 2022: (Start)
Let k be a positive integer. Clearly, the sequence obtained by reducing a(n) modulo k is eventually periodic. Conjectures:
1) The sequence obtained by reducing a(n) modulo 2^k is eventually periodic with period 2.
2) The sequence obtained by reducing a(n) modulo 10^k is eventually periodic with period 6 (the case k = 1 is noted above).
3) The sequence obtained by reducing a(n) modulo 20^k is eventually periodic with period 6.
4) For n >= floor(k/2) and for 1 <= i <= 6, the value of a(6*n+i) mod 10^k is a constant independent of n. The digits of these 6 constant integers, when read from right to left, are the first k digits of the 10-adic numbers A318135 (i = 1), A318136 (i = 2), A318137 (i = 3), A318138 (i = 4), A318139 (i = 5) and A318140 (i = 6), respectively. An example is given below.

To avoid confusion: the polynomials which are called 'Mandelbrot polynomials' by some authors are listed in A137560. The name 'Mandelbrot-Larsen' polynomials was introduced in Calkin, Chan, & Corless to distinguish them from the Mandelbrot polynomials.
