COMMENTS

R_n is a string of n 1's.

Base 4 representation of Jacobsthal bisection sequence A002450. E.g. a(4)= 1111 because A002450(4)= 85 (in base 10) = 64 + 16 + 4 + 1 = 1*(4^3)+1*(4^2)+1*(4^1)+1. - Paul Barry, Mar 12 2004

Except for the first two terms, these numbers cannot be perfect squares, because x^2 =/= 11 (mod 100) - Zak Seidov, Dec 05 2008.

For n >= 2: a(n) = Sequence A000225(n) written in base 2. [Jaroslav Krizek, Jul 27 2009]

Let A be the Hessenberg matrix of order n, defined by: A[1,j]=1, A[i,i]:=10, (i>1), A[i,i-1]=-1, and A[i,j]=0 otherwise. Then, for n>=1, a(n)=det(A). [Milan Janjic, Feb 21 2010]

a(n) = A075412(n)/A002283(n). [Reinhard Zumkeller, May 31 2010]

Except 0, 1 and 11, all these integers are Brazilian numbers, A125134. [Bernard Schott, Dec 24 2012]

Numbers n such that 11...111 = R_n = (10^n - 1)/9 is prime are in A004023. [Bernard Schott, Dec 24 2012]

These numbers are particularly helpful when translating permutations between two different kind of conventions about the enumerations of the digits. Example: {01,10} + {11,11} = {12,21}. - R. J. Cano, Jan 09 2013

a(n)=10*a(n-1)+1, a(0)=0.

a(n)=a(n-1)+10^(n-1) with a(0)=0. [Vincenzo Librandi, Jul 22 2010]

Second binomial transform of Jacobsthal trisection A001045(3n)/3 (A015565). - Paul Barry, Mar 24 2004
