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”).

Same as Pisot sequences E(1, 10), L(1, 10), P(1, 10), T(1, 10). Essentially same as Pisot sequences E(10, 100), L(10, 100), P(10, 100), T(10, 100). See A008776 for definitions of Pisot sequences.
Same as k^n in base k. - Dominick Cancilla, Aug 02 2010 [Corrected by Jianing Song, Sep 17 2022]
The compositions of n in which each natural number is colored by one of p different colors are called p-colored compositions of n. For n >= 1, a(n) equals the number of 10-colored compositions of n such that no adjacent parts have the same color. - Milan Janjic, Nov 17 2011
Smallest n+1 digit number greater than 0 (with offset 0). - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Jan 17 2014
Numbers with digit sum = 1, or, A007953(a(n)) = 1. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jul 17 2014
Does not satisfy Benford's law. - N. J. A. Sloane, Feb 14 2017

FORMULA
a(n) = 10^n.
a(n) = 10*a(n-1).
G.f.: 1/(1-10*x).
E.g.f.: exp(10*x).
A000005(a(n)) = A000290(n+1). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Mar 04 2007
a(n) = 60^n/6^n = A159991(n)/A000400(n). - Reinhard Zumkeller, May 02 2009
a(n) = A178501(n+1); for n > 0: a(n) = A178500(n). - Reinhard Zumkeller, May 28 2010
Sum_{n>0} 1/a(n) = 1/9 = A000012. - Stefano Spezia, Apr 28 2024
