If 2^(n+1) is the length of the even leg of a primitive Pythagorean triangle (PPT) then it constrains the odd leg to have a length of 4^n-1 and the hypotenuse to have a length of 4^n+1. The resulting triangle has a semiperimeter of 4^n+2^n, an area of 8^n-2^n and an inradius of 2^n-1. For n > 0, a(n) is the area of such triangles. - Frank M Jackson, Sep 07 2018
Maximum anomalous cancellation multiplicity of (2n+1)-digit integers: number of (2n+1)-digit integers which can be anomalously canceled with a fixed (2n+1)-digit integer. The maximum is obtained at 88...88911...11 containing n 8's and n 1's (see Example below). Anomalous cancellation is a "canceling" of digits of a and b in the numerator and denominator of a fraction a/b which results in a fraction equal to the original, and no 0 or digits that appear different times in a and b are canceled. For example, 49/98 = 4/8, 138/184 = 3/4, 1985/5955 = 185/555, 88911/43956 = 8811/4356, but 120/340 is not because canceling the 0's is not an anomalous cancellation. - Xiaohan Zhang, Nov 21 2019

EXAMPLE

For n=1, there are 6 numbers with 3 digits that can be anomalously canceled with 891: 297, 396, 495, 594, 693, 792. For n=2 there are 60 numbers with 88911: 12987, 13986, 14985, 15984, 16983, 17982, 21978, 22977, 23976, 24975, 25974, 26973, 27972, 28971, 31968, 32967, 33966, 34965, 35964, 36963, 37962, 38961, 41958, 42957, 43956, 44955, 45954, 46953, 47952, 48951, 51948, 52947, 53946, 54945, 55944, 56943, 57942, 58941, 61938, 62937, 63936, 64935, 65934, 66933, 67932, 68931, 71928, 72927, 73926, 74925, 75924, 76923, 77922, 78921, 82917, 83916, 84915, 85914, 86913, 87912. For n=3 504 numbers with 8889111, and no other (2n+1)-digit number has greater multiplicity. There seems to be a pattern of integer partitions in these examples, because the sum of the digits of numbers above are all multiples of 9. - Xiaohan Zhang, Nov 21 2019
