%F a(n) = 2*A256290(n-1) + 1 for n>1. - _Hugo Pfoertner_, Jan 28 2023

%e 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
