COMMENTS
The terms of sequence A340115 converge to this sequence of digits, and to this constant, up to powers of 10.
FORMULA
c = 0.86472992619733697029999383759989734499700299999939482649996194672...
= Sum_{k >= 1} 10^(-k(k+1)/2)*floor(10^(k/3)-1)^3
a(-n(n+1)/2) = 9 for all n >= 3;
EXAMPLE
The largest cube with 1, 2, 3, 4, ... digits is, respectively, 8 = 2^3, 64 = 4^3, 729 = 9^3, 9261 = 21^3, ..., cf. A061435.
Here we list the sequence of digits of these numbers: 8; 6, 4; 7, 2, 9; 9, 2, 6, 1; ...
This can be considered, as for the Champernowne and Copeland-Erdős constants, as the decimal expansion of a real constant 0.864729926...
PROG
(PARI) concat([digits(sqrtnint(10^k-1, 3)^3)|k<-[1..14]]) \\ as seq. of digits
c(N=20)=sum(k=1, N, .1^(k*(k+1)/2)*sqrtnint(10^k-1, 3)^3) \\ as constant
