FORMULA
a(n) = 10*a(floor(n/2))+2*(n mod 2)-1 for n>0, a(0)=0. - Alois P. Heinz, Jan 25 2023
a(n) = 2*A256290(n-1) + 1 for n>1. - Hugo Pfoertner, Jan 28 2023
EXAMPLE
a(4) = 89. The first nine multiples of 89 are {089, 178, 267, 356, 445, 534, 623, 712, 801}. The digits in the hundreds place increment by 1, while the digits in the tens and units place decrement by 1. In the Decimal Exploding Dots notation, 89 is represented as DOT-ANTIDOT-ANTIDOT = 100 - 10 - 1 = 89
MAPLE
a:= proc(n) option remember;
`if`(n=0, 0, 10*a(iquo(n, 2, 'm'))+2*m-1)
