FORMULA

First nonzero digit of W(ln(n))/ln(n) for integer n > 1. Here W is the Lambert W function.

EXAMPLE

a(2) = 6 because 6 is the first digit of the solution (z = 0.641...) to the generating equation log_2(z) = -z.

PROG

Mathcad program for first 3000 or so terms (substitute an integer > 1 for n): trunc(10*root(log(z, n)+z, z))
