COMMENT

a(n+1) - a(n) = 2^n or 0; see A127015.

In the 2-adic integers, lim_{n->infty} a(n) = 11001110010100010100110001...; see A127015.

FORMULA

A(a(n)) = A138761(n) = Sum_{k=0...a(n)} a(n)!/k! for n > 0. [From Jonathan Sondow (jsondow(AT)alumni.princeton.edu), Jun 12 2009]

EXAMPLE

A(0) = 1, A(1) = 2, A(2) = 5 and A(3) = 16 = 2^4, so a(1) = 1 and a(2) = a(3) = a(4) = 3. Also, A(19) = 330665665962404000 is the first A(k) divisible by 2^5, so a(5) = 19.
