Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

A098729
Consider the sequence {b(n), n >= 1} of digits of the integers: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 0 1 1 1 2 1 3 1 4 1 5 1 6 1 7 1 8 1 9 2 0... (A033307); a(n) = b(n) + n.

COMMENTS
Add its rank to each digit of the counting numbers (beginning with 0).
EXAMPLE
The sequence of digits of the integers is
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 0 1 1 1 2 1 3 1 4 1 5 1 6 1 7 1 8 1 9 2 0...
The 15th term, for instance, is a 1. Thus 1+15=16 is the 15th term of this sequence.
Next one is 2 (the digit) + 16 (the rank) = 18
