Related to the sum of Fibonacci-variants: Sum of the (Fibonacci numbers)/(10^n)= 0/(10^1)+1/(10^2)+1/(10^3)+2/(10^4)+ 3/(10^5)+5/(10^6)+...=1/89. Sum of the (tribonacci numbers)/(10^(n+1))=1/889. Sum of the (tetranacci numbers)/(10^(n+2))=1/8889 etc. The dominator-sequence of those sums is A059482. The first one is of course 0.11111111111 = 1/9.

Let A be the Hessenberg matrix of the order n, defined by: A[1,j]=1, A[i,i]:=12, (i>1), A[i,i-1]=-1, and A[i,j]=0 otherwise. Then, for n>=1, a(n-1)=(-1)^(n-1)*charpoly(A,2). [From Milan R. Janjic (agnus(AT)blic.net), Feb 21 2010]

FORMULA

a(n)=(10^n)*(1000/1125)+(1/9).

a(n) =A002282(n)+1 =(8*10^n+1)/9.

a(n)=10*a(n-1)-1 (with a(0)=1) [From Vincenzo Librandi (vincenzo.librandi(AT)tin.it), Aug 07 2010]

EXAMPLE

a(3)=(10^3)*(1000/1125)+(1/9)=(8000/9)+(1/9)=889.

a(1)=10*1-1=9; a(2)=10*9-1=89; a(3)=10*89-1=889 [From Vincenzo Librandi (vincenzo.librandi(AT)tin.it), Aug 07 2010]
