COMMENTS

11^a(n) is highest power of 11 dividing (11^(n+1))!.

Partial sums of powers of 11 (A001020).

a(n)=[(11^n)-1]/10 - Ctibor O. Zizka (ctibor.zizka(AT)seznam.cz), Feb 18 2008

Let A be the Hessenberg matrix of order n, defined by: A[1,j]=1, A[i,i]:=11, (i>1), A[i,i-1]=-1, and A[i,j]=0 otherwise. Then, for n>=1, a(n-1)=det(A). [From Milan R. Janjic (agnus(AT)blic.net), Feb 21 2010]

FORMULA

a(n)= sum(11^k, k=0..n) = (11^(n+1)-1)/10.

G.f.: (1/(1-11*x)-1/(1-x))/(10*x)=1/((1-11*x)*(1-x)).

a(0)=1, a(n)=11*a(n-1)+1. [From Vincenzo Librandi, Feb 05 2011]
