COMMENTS
From Wolfdieter Lang, Feb 08 2017: (Start)
This sequence (for n >= 1) appears in n-families satisfying so-called curious cubic identities based on the Armstrong numbers 153, 370 and 371, A005188(10) - A005188(12).
153 also involves A246057(n-1) and A093143(n). See a comment in A246057 with the van Poorten et al. reference, and A281857.
370 and 371 also involve A067275(n+1). See the comment there, and A281858 and A281860. (End)

FORMULA
a(n) = 3*A002275(n).
a(n) = A178631(n)/A002283(n). - Reinhard Zumkeller, May 31 2010
From Vincenzo Librandi, Jul 22 2010: (Start)
a(n) = a(n-1) + 3*10^(n-1) with a(0)=0;
a(n) = 11*a(n-1) - 10*a(n-2) with a(0)=0, a(1)=3. (End)
G.f.: 3*x/((1 - x)*(1 - 10*x)). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Feb 24 2017
Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = A135702. - Amiram Eldar, Nov 13 2020
E.g.f.: exp(x)*(exp(9*x) - 1)/3. - Stefano Spezia, Sep 13 2023
EXAMPLE
From Wolfdieter Lang, Feb 08 2017: (Start)
Curious cubic identities (see a comment above):
1^3 + 5^3 + 3^3 = 153, 16^3 + 50^3 + 33^3 = 165033, 166^3 + 500^3 + 333^3 = 166500333, ...
3^3 + 7^3 + 0^3 = 370; 336700 = 33^3 + 67^3 + (00)^3 = 336700, 333^3 + 667^3 + (000)^3 = 333667000, ...
3^3 + 7^3 + 1^3 = 371, 33^3 + 67^3 + (01)^3 = 336701, 333^3 + 667^3 + (001)^3 = 333667001, ... (End)
