%N Wonderful Demlo numbers: a(n) = ((10^n - 1)/9)^2.

%C Only the first nine terms of this sequence are palindromes. - _Bui Quang Tuan_, Mar 30 2015

%C Not all of the terms are Demlo numbers as defined by Kaprekar, i.e., concat(L,M,R) with M and L+R repdigits using the same digit. For example, a(10), a(19), a(28) are not, but a(k) for k = 11, 12, ..., 18 are. - _M. F. Hasler_, Nov 18 2017
