%N a(n) = 100^n - 10^n - 1.

%C Digits of the inverse of these numbers gives the Fibonacci numbers. More precisely the digits of 1/(10^(2*n)-10^n-1) give the Fibonacci numbers up to 10^n.

%C More generally, if x_1,x_2, x_n=x_(n-1)-x_(n-2) is any Lucas sequence, then the digits of the numbers (x_1*10^n-(x_1-x_2))/(10^(2*n)-10^n-1) gives the x_n up to 10^n.

%C 1/a(n) = Sum(i=1..infinity) A000045(i-1)/10^(n*i) (see Long paper). - _Michel Marcus_, May 01 2013
