Inverse: a101545; a101546(n) = a(a(n)).
The terms can also be written simply following this array with 3 columns:
1st column 2nd column 3rd column
1 + 2 = 3
4 + 5 = 9
6 + 7 = 13
8 + 10 = 18
11 + 12 = 23
14 + 15 = 29
16 + 17 = 33
... ... ...
Question: in which column ends up the repdigit R_m(d) with m times the digit d?
Answer: R_m(d) will be in:
1) column 1 if d = 1, 4, 6, 8, or if d = 9 and m is even;
2) column 2 if d = 2, 5, 7;
3) column 3 if d = 3, or if d = 9 and m is odd.
Problem coming from Kruzemeyer et al. (End)
