%F a(n) = (10^(n+1) - 1)/9*2 + 1.

%F a(n) = 10*a(n-1) - 7, with a(1)=23. - _Vincenzo Librandi_, Nov 16 2010

%F From _Colin Barker_, May 06 2012: (Start)

%F a(n) = 11*a(n-1) - 10*a(n-2).

%F G.f.: x*(23-30*x)/((1-x)*(1-10*x)). (End)

%o (Magma) [ n eq 1 select 23 else 10*Self(n-1)-7: n in [1..17] ];
