COMMENTS

A look-and-say sequence. a(3) says 4 ones, 1 zero, which is the count of ones and zeros in the two previous terms. a(4) says 1 four, 5 ones, 2 zeros.

From the 28th term the sequence gets into a cycle of 117.

EXAMPLE

a(26) = 39283736554483723130;

a(27) = 39384726554493622120 = first term of first period;

a(28) = 39383736455493622120;

a(143) = 39283746553473823130 = last term of first period != a(26);

a(144) = 39384726554493622120 = first term of second period = a(27);

a(145) = 39383736455493622120 = a(28).

MATHEMATICA

a[0] = 0; a[1] = 1; a[n_] := a[n] = Reverse /@ (Join[a[n-2] // IntegerDigits, a[n-1] // IntegerDigits] // Tally // SortBy[#, First]& // Reverse) // Flatten // FromDigits;
