Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

Conjecture: a(n) = A137066(n+2) for all n, i.e., this is A137066 without the initial two terms.
(10^(k+1)-1)/3 - 10^k + 2 are terms for k > 1. Conjecture: except for 2354235, 2333524235, and 23333524235, all terms are of this form. - Chai Wah Wu, Sep 10 2017
