%N a(1)=1, a(n) = 2*(n^(n-1)-1)/(n-1) for n >= 2.

%C Proposition: n^(n-1) - 1 == 0 (mod (n-1)^2). Hence a(n) == 0 mod (n-1).

%C a(n) is the common difference of the arithmetic progression in row n of A111568. Written in base n, a(n) has n-1 digits equal to 2 (for example, a(10)=222222222). - _Emeric Deutsch_, Aug 08 2005
