%N Digital roots of square numbers A000290.

%C Cyclic with a period of nine. Note that (7, 9, 4, 1, 9, 1, 4, 9, 7) is palindromic.

%C a(n) is also the decimal expansion of 499264730/333333333. - _Enrique Pérez Herrero_, Jul 28 2009

%C a(n) is also the digital root of the Wonderful Demlo number A002477(n). - _Enrique Pérez Herrero_, Dec 20 2009

%C First comment above by _Enrique Pérez Herrero_ and his formula below together give the following identity: 1+Sum_{n>=2}(1+9*((n^2-1)/9-floor((n^2-1)/9)))/10^(n-1) = 499264730/333333333 = 1.49779419149779419149779419... - _Alexander R. Povolotsky_, Jun 14 201

%F a(n) = 1+9*{(n^2-1)/9} , where the symbol {} means fractional part. - _Enrique Pérez Herrero_, Dec 20 2009

%F a(n) = 3(1 + cos(2n*Pi/3) + cos(4n*Pi/3)) + mod(3n^4+3n^6+4n^8,9). - _Ant King_, Oct 07 2009
