Michael De Vlieger, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..11325 (1 <= n <= 150).
FORMULA
T(n, k) = (k^n-1)/(k-1) [with T(n, 1) = n] = T(n-1, k)+k^(n-1) = (k+1)*T(n-1, k)-k*T(n-2, k) [with T(0, k) = 0 and T(1, k) = 1].
From Werner Schulte, Aug 29 2021 and Sep 18 2021: (Start)
T(n,k) = 1 + k * T(n-1,k) for k > 0 and n > 1.
Sum_{m=2..n} T(m-1,k)/Product_{i=2..m} T(i,k) = (1 - 1/Product_{i=2..n} T(i,k))/k for k > 0 and n > 1.
Sum_{n > 1} T(n-1,k)/Product_{i=2..n} T(i,k) = 1/k for k > 0.
Sum_{i=1..n} k^(i-1) / (T(i,k) * T(i+1,k)) = T(n,k) / T(n+1,k) for k > 0 and n > 0. (End)
EXAMPLE
T(3,5)=31 because 111 base 5 represents 25+5+1=31.

Starting with the second column, the q-th column list the numbers that are written as 11...1 in base q. - John Keith, Apr 12 2021
