COMMENTS

Only the first nine terms of this sequence are palindromes. - Bui Quang Tuan, Mar 30 2015
Not all of the terms are Demlo numbers as defined by Kaprekar, i.e., concat(L,M,R) with M and L+R repdigits using the same digit. For example, a(10), a(19), a(28) are not, but a(k) for k = 11, 12, ..., 18 are. - M. F. Hasler, Nov 18 2017

EXAMPLE

n=1: ....................... 1 = 9 / 9;
n=2: ..................... 121 = 1089 / 9;
n=3: ................... 12321 = 110889 / 9;
n=4: ................. 1234321 = 11108889 / 9;
n=5: ............... 123454321 = 1111088889 / 9;
n=6: ............. 12345654321 = 111110888889 / 9;
n=7: ........... 1234567654321 = 11111108888889 / 9;
n=8: ......... 123456787654321 = 1111111088888889 / 9;
n=9: ....... 12345678987654321 = 111111110888888889 / 9. (End)
a(11) = concat(L = 1234567901, R = 20987654321), with L + R = 22222222222 = 2*(10^11-1)/9, of same length as R. - M. F. Hasler, Nov 23 2017
