Table of n, a(n) for n=1..28.

FORMULA

The following inequality obviously holds for n > 1: a(n) >= (n-1)*10^(floor(1+log n) + floor(1+log(n+1))) + n*10^(floor(1+log(n+1))) + n + 1 where log is taken base 10, not base e. - Sam Alexander (amnalexander(AT)yahoo.com), Oct 19 2003

EXAMPLE

a(1) = 12 = 012, a(9) = 8910, a(13) = 1213147, 13 is sandwiched between 12 and 14.
