%N A323453 Largest number that can be obtained by starting with 1 and applying "Choix de Bruxelles (version 2)" (see A323460) n times.
%C A323453 Also, largest number that can be obtained by starting with 1 and applying the original "Choix de Bruxelles" version 1 operation (as defined in A323286) at most n times.
%C A323453 a(n) is the largest number that can be obtained by applying Choix de Bruxelles (version 2) to all the numbers that can be reached from 1 by applying it n-1 times.
%C A323453 a(n+1) >= A323460(a(n)) (but equality does not always hold). See A307635. - _Rémy Sigrist_, Jan 15 2019

%F A323453 a(n+4) = decimal concatenation of 8112 and a(n) for n >= 10.
%e A323453 After applying Choix de Bruxelles (version 2) 4 times to 1, we have the numbers {1,2,4,8,16}. Applying it a fifth time we get the additional numbers {13,26,32,112}, so a(5) = 112.
