Let u(n), v(n) be defined by u(1) = v(1) = 1, u(n+1) = u(n) + v(n) and v(n+1) = u(n)*v(n) for n >= 1; then a(n) = u(n) and A064847(n) = v(n). - Benoit Cloitre, Apr 01 2002 [Edited by Petros Hadjicostas, May 11 2020]

COMMENTS
From Petros Hadjicostas, May 11 2020: (Start)
R. J. Mathar's conjecture is correct and this is identical to A064847 starting at n = 3. To see why this is the case, consider the sequences u(n) and v(n) defined by u(1) = v(1) = 1, and u(k+1) = u(k) + v(k), v(k+1) = u(k)*v(k) for k >= 1. Then u(n) = A003686(n) and v(n) = A064847(n) for n >= 1.
Then v(n) = u(n+1) - u(n), and thus Sum_{k=1..n-1} v(k) = u(n) - u(1) = u(n) - 1 for n >= 2. Then v(n-1) + ... + v(3) + (v(2) + 1) + v(1) = u(n) for n >= 3, and hence v(n)*(v(n-1) + ... + v(3) + (v(2) + 1) + v(1)) = u(n)*v(n) = v(n+1).
Since v(1) = 1 = a(1) and v(2) + 1 = 2 = a(2), the sequence (v(1), v(2) + 1, v(3), ..., v(n), ...) is identical to the current sequence. Hence, a(n) = v(n) = u(n+1) - u(n) = A003686(n+1) - A003686(n) for n >= 3. (End)
