[Wouter Meeussen]

let's not all do this simultaneously.
I'm ready & willing to oblige, anyone else busy on it right now?

Wouter.

Tanya, Richard, Julian:

You should be aware of the paper by Back and Caragiu,
G. Back and M. Caragiu, The greatest prime factor and recurrent sequences,
Fib. Q., 48 (2010), 358-362.
which is closely related. Also sequences A175723, A177904, etc., which are
based on that paper.

Perhaps Julian could submit the sequence? - I see he is the primary author
of the ArXiv paper
