COMMENT

This sequence and its reciprocal sum are unique: there exists only one self-reciprocating sequence whose terms are exactly equal to the integer part of the powers of the sum of the reciprocal terms of the same sequence.

FORMULA

a(n) = floor[S^n], where S=1.776791425488... = Sum 1/a(k), k=1, 2, 3, ... The n-th term of the sequence is the integer part of the n-th power of the sum of the infinite series of reciprocal terms of this same sequence.

EXAMPLE

1=[S], 3=[S^2], 5=[S^3], 9=[S^4], 17=[S^5], 31=[S^6], 55=[S^7], ... where S=1/1 + 1/3 + 1/5 + 1/9 + 1/17 + 1/31 + 1/55 + 1/99 + 1/176 +...
