COMMENTS

Numbers in A018247 and A018248 are known as automorphic numbers in base 10, meaning that the infinite integers a=(...256259918212890625) or b=(...743740081787109376) provides a nontrivial solution to x*x == x (mod any power of 10).

Read backwards so as to match their counterparts (A007185 & A016090), A018247(1)+A018248(1) = 11 & A018247(n)+A018248(n) = 9 for all n's > 1 and their product is A076308.

All entries must be odd.

Is the accumulative sum equally positive and negative, i.e. does the sum equal 0 infinitely often?
