Comments

R_n is the n-th repunit (i.e., R_n = 11...111 with n 1's).

From David A. Corneth, Jun 27 2016: (Start)

The number of digits of m is floor(log(m)/log(10)) + 1 for m > 0.

R_n = (10^n - 1) / 9 = (10 - 10^(1-n))/9 * 10^(n-1). Its number of digits is floor(n * log((10 - 10^(1-n))/9) / log(10)) + n * (n - 1) + 1. [corrected by Jason Yuen, Nov 11 2024] (End)

Formula

a(n) = n^2 - n + 1 = A002061(n), for 1 <= n <= 21.

a(n) = n^2 - n + 2 = A014206(n-1), for 22 <= n <= 43.
