Differs from A082779 at a(5).

a(n) <= (10^A055642(a(n-1))+1)*a(n-1).

If a(n-1) > 10 and the last digit of a(n-1) <= 4, then a(n) <= (10^(A055642(a(n-1))-1)+1)*a(n-1).

For n = 5..8, we have a(n) = 7568 * A002275(2^(n-3)), and it follows that a(9) <= 7568 * A002275(64). Conjecture: for all n >= 5, a(n) = 7568 * A002275(2^(n-3)). Note that 7568 is a term of A370052 and A370053. - Max Alekseyev, Feb 08 2024

Examples

			a(3) = 484 is a palindromic multiple of a(2) = 44 and contains two '4', all the digits of a(2).
