%N a(n) = 3*(10^n - 1)/9.

%C From _Wolfdieter Lang_, Feb 08 2017: (Start)

%C This sequence (for n >= 1) appears in n-families satisfying so-called curious cubic identities based on the Armstrong numbers 153, 370 and 371, A005188(10) - A005188(12).

%C 153 also involves A246057(n-1) and A093143(n). See a comment in A246057 with the van Poorten et al. reference, and A281857.

%C 370 and 371 also involve A067275(n+1). See the comment there, and A281858 and A281860. (End)
