Composites Of This Sequence

[Alexander Povolotsky]

Maximilian,

Thanks for the clarification (via calculating additional terms - my
original observation was based on comparing originally submitted
terms).
Still, there is plenty of the overlap between the two ... .
This beggs the question - what would be the definition for the
*intersection* of these two sequences ?

Best,
AP
