Recursive sequences: $S_0 = 1, S_n = (S_{n−1})^{2} + (S_{n−2})^{2} + · · · + (S_0)^{2}$ for all...

The question is-

Write down the first five values of each of the following recursive sequences.
$S_0 = 1, S_n = (S_{n−1})^{2} + (S_{n−2})^{2} + · · · + (S_0)^{2}$ for all integers $n ⩾ 1$



I'm not sure if this is correct but this is what I did:



$S_1 = (1)^{2} = 1$



$S_2 = (1)^2 + (1)^2 = 2$



$S_3 = (2)^2 + (1)^2 + (1)^2 = 6$



$S_4 = (6)^2 + (2)^2 + (1)^2 + (1)^2 = 42$



$S_5 = (42)^2 + (6)^2 + (2)^2 + (1)^2 + (1)^2 = 1806$

    Looks fine. What is the question, though? By the way, you can simplify to $S_n=S_{n-1}^2+S_{n-1}$.

    Just for your curiosity : have a look at oeis.org/… What it seems is that $log(log(S_n))$ is a linear function of $n$.
