The repeating strings that form the sequence 1, 5, 6, 2, 4, 9, 6, 3, 9, ... become progressively smaller and the irregular strings increase, until eventually the repeating strings disappear. With larger odd values of n however, the demise of the repeating digits slows down.
Conjecture: same as the repeating digits in the decimal expansion of 1/9*sqrt(1 - 1/10^n).
As n increases, the decimal expansion of 1/9*sqrt(1 - 1/10^n) begins with long strings of repeating digits of 1's, 5's, 6's, 2's,..., which appear to be taken from an initial subsequence of the present sequence, interlaced with the digit strings [0, 41, 597, 178819, 140624, 77213541, 487630208, 1878662109374, 87877739800347, 1191830105251736, 02212270100911458, ...]. An example is given below. Empirical observations: for a fixed value of n, the lengths of the repeating strings gradually shorten until they eventually disappear; as n increases, the number of repeating strings of digits increases. (End)
Conjecture: same as the digital root of the trisection of the Catalan numbers: a(n) = A130856(3*n). - Christian Krause, Nov 26 2022

FORMULA

sqrt(f(n)) where f(n) = 10 * f(n-1) + n, for odd integers n. 1, 5, 6, 2, 4, 9, 6, 3, 9, 2, ... are the repeating digits that alternate with random looking strings.

0.(111...111)0(555...555)41(666...666)597(222...222)178819(444...444)140624(999...999)77213541(666...666)487630208(333...333)1878662109374(999...999)87877739800347(222222)1191830105251736(1111)02212270100911458(333)2....
Repeating digits 1, 5, 6, 2, 4, 9, 6, 3, 9, 2, 1, 3. (End)
