Comments

The initial terms coincide with those of A003952, although the two sequences are eventually different.

First disagreement at index 19: a(19) = 1500946352969991165, A003952(19) = 1500946352969991210. - Klaus Brockhaus, Mar 25 2011

Computed with MAGMA using commands similar to those used to compute A154638.
