COMMENT

The old definition of this sequence was "Highest power of 10 dividing n!", but that is wrong (see A027868). For example, the highest power of 10 dividing 5!=120 is 1; however, a(5)=0. - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Jun 18 2007

Highest power of 10 dividing the quotient of multifactorials product{k>=1, M(10^k,10^k*floor(n/10^k))}/product{k>=1, M(10^(k-1),10^(k-1)*floor(n/10^k))} where M(r,s) is the r-multifactorial (r>=1) of s which is defined by M(r,s)=s*M(r,s-r) for s>0, M(r,s)=1 for s<=0. - This is because that quotient of multifactorials evaluates to the product 10^floor(n/10)*10^floor(n/100)*... - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Jun 14 2007

FORMULA

floor[n/10] + floor[n/100] + floor[n/1000] + floor[n/10000] + ....

a(n)=(n-A007953(n))/9

a(n) = sum {k>0, floor(n/10^k)}. - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Jun 14 2007

a(n)=sum{10<=k<=n, sum{j|k,j>=10, floor(log_10(j))-floor(log_10(j-1))}}. - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Jun 25 2007

G.f.: g(x)=sum{k>0, x^(10^k)/(1-x^(10^k))}/(1-x). - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Jun 25 2007

G.f. expressed in terms of Lambert series: g(x)=L[b(k)](x)/(1-x) where L[b(k)](x)=sum{k>=0, b(k)*x^k/(1-x^k)} is a Lambert series with b(k)=1, if k>1 is a power of 10, else b(k)=0. - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Jun 25 2007

G.f.: g(x)=sum{k>0, c(k)*x^k}/(1-x), where c(k)=sum{j>1,j|k, floor(log_10(j))-floor(log_10(j-1))}. - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Jun 25 2007

a(n)=sum_{0<=k<=floor(log_10(n))} ds_10(floor(n/10^k))*10^k - n where ds_10(x) = digital sum of x in base = 10. - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Jun 25 2007

a(n)=sum_{0<=k<=floor(log_10(n))} A007953(floor(n/10^k))*10^k - n. - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Jun 25 2007

Recurrence: a(n)=floor(n/10)+a(floor(n/10)); a(10*n)=n+a(n); a(n*10^m)=n*(10^m-1)/9+a(n). - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Aug 13 2007

a(k*10^m)=k*(10^m-1)/9, for 0<=k<10, m>=0. - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Aug 13 2007

Asymtotic behavior: a(n)=n/9+O(log(n)), a(n+1)-a(n)=O(log(n)), which follows from the inequalities below. - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Aug 13 2007

a(n)<=(n-1)/9; equality holds for powers of 10. - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Aug 13 2007

a(n)>=n/9-1-floor(log_10(n)); equality holds for n=10^m-1, m>0. - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Aug 13 2007

lim inf (n/9-a(n))=1/9, for n-->oo. - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Aug 13 2007

lim sup (n/9-log_10(n)-a(n))=0, for n-->oo. - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Aug 13 2007

lim sup (a(n+1)-a(n)-log_10(n))=0, for n-->oo. - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Aug 13 2007
