See A175398, A175399, A175400, A175402, A175403, A175405. [Jaroslav Krizek, May 05 2010]

			For n = 29: a(29) = 9 because for the number 29 there are 4 steps of defined iteration: {2^9 = 512}, {(5^1)^2 = 25}, {2^5 = 32}, {3^2 = 9} and 4th step of iteration ending with number 9.

A175402 a(n) is the number of iterations of {r -> (((D_1^D_2)^D_3)^...)^D_k, where D_k is the k-th decimal digit of r} needed to reach a one-digit number, starting at r = n.

Conjecture: max(a(n)) = 4.

Assuming that A020665(2) = 86, A020665(3) = 68, A020665(5) = 58, and A020665(7) = 35, this conjecture is true, since in that case the largest power of a decimal digit that has no 0 is 7^35, and of those powers p none have a(p) > 3. The only n for which a(n) = 4 are those where one iteration goes to 6^2, 7^2, 6^3, 7^3, or 2^9.

			For n = 29: a(29) = 4 because for the number 29 there are 4 steps of defined iteration: {2^9 = 512}, {(5^1)^2 = 25}, {2^5 = 32}, {3^2 = 9}.

iter(n)=my(v=eval(Vec(Str(n))));v[1]^prod(i=2,#v,v[i])
a(n)=my(k=0);while(n>9,k++;n=iter(n));k

A175403 a(n) is the smallest number m requiring n iterations {((((D_1^D_2)^D_3)^D_4)^...)^D_k to reach a one-digit number starting at r = n, where D_k is the k-th digit D of the number r and k is the digit number of the number r in the decimal expansion of r (A055642)}.

Conjecture: sequence is finite.

Assuming that A020665(2) = 86, A020665(3) = 68, A020665(5) = 58 and A020665(7) = 35, a(4) is the last term; see A175402.

			For n = 4: a(4) = 29 because 29 is the smallest number with 4 steps of defined iteration: {2^9 = 512}, {(5^1)^2 = 25}, {2^5 = 32}, {3^2 = 9}.

Further edits from N. J. A. Sloane, Aug 08 2010. I am still worried that n is mentioned too many times in the definition.
