Comments

A variant of A053067. The first number of the concatenation a(n) is A152947(n) = (n-2)*(n-1)/2+1 and the last is (n-1)*n/2+1.

The fourth term, 4567, is a prime. When is the next prime, if there is another? - N. J. A. Sloane, Dec 16 2016

a(n) is the concatenation of the terms of the n-th row of A122797 when seen as a triangle. - Michel Marcus, Dec 17 2016

Formula

a(n) = n^2/2 - n/2 + 1 + Sum{k=1..n-1} ((n^2/2 - n/2 + 1 - k)*10^Sum{j=0..k-1} (floor(1+log_10(n^2/2 - n/2 + 1 - j)))).

Example

a(4) is the concatenation of 4 numbers beginning with the last number (4) that was used to build a(3), so a(4) = 4 5 6 7 = 4567. Then a(5) is the concatenation of 5 numbers beginning with the last number of a(4), which is 7, so a(5) = 7 8 9 10 11 = 7891011. And so on.
For n = 3, n^2/2 - n/2 + 1 = 4; a(3) = 4 + 3*10^1 + 2*10^(1+1) = 234.
