A057650 Second step in Goodstein sequences, i.e. g(4) if g(2)=n: (first step) write g(2)=n in hereditary representation base 2, bump to base 3, then subtract 1 to produce g(3)=A056004(n), then (second step) write g(3) in hereditary representation base 3, bump to base 4, then subtract 1 to produce g(4). +0

EXAMPLE

a(12)=1065 since with g(2)=12=2^(2+1)+2^2, we get g(3)=3^(3+1)+3^3-1=107=3^(3+1)+2*3^2+2*3+2 and g(4)=4^(4+1)+2*4^2+2*4+2-1=1065. a(17)=4^(4^4)-1, with g(2)=17=2^(2^2)+1 and g(3)=3^(3^3). Similarly a(18)=4^(4^4)+1, with g(2)=18=2^(2^2)+2 and g(3)=3^(3^3)+2.
