Comment from James D. Klein, Feb 05 2012: (Start)

The periods of the reciprocals of a(n) are the consecutive integers from 0 to 10^n-1, omitting the one integer 10^n-2, right-justified in field widths of size n. E.g.:

1/81 = 0.012345679...

1/9801 = 0.000102030405060708091011...9799000102...

1/998001 = 0.000001002003004005...997999000001002... (End)

FORMULA

a(n) = 81*A002477(n) = A002283(n)^2 = (9*A002275(n))^2.

a(n)={999... (n times)}^2={999... (n times),000... (n times)} - {999... (n times)}. For example, 999^2=999000-999=998001. [From Kyle D. Balliet (kdballie(AT)bloomu.edu), Mar 07 2009]

n>0: a(n) = (A002283(n-1)*10 + 8) * 10^(n-1) + 1. [From Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), May 31 2010]
