[seqfan] Re: Numbers n such that (n+n+1) divides the concatenation [n, n+1]

[Alexander P-sky]

Input interpretation:
{1, 4, 16, 49, 166, 499, 1666, 4999, 16666, 49999, ...}

Possible closed form:
a_n = 1/12 (-2 (-1)^n+10^(n/2+1/2)-(-1)^n 10^(n/2+1/2)+3 10^(n/2)+3
(-1)^n 10^(n/2)-10)
(for all terms given)
