COMMENT
|
Also number of characters needed to write the number n in classical Greek alphabetic system, up to n=999. The Greek alphabetic system assigned values to the letters as follows:
alpha = 1, beta = 2, gamma = 3, delta = 4, epsilon = 5, zeta = 7, eta = 8, theta = 9,
iota = 10, kappa = 20, lambda = 30, mu = 40, nu = 50, xi = 60, omicron = 70, pi = 80,
rho = 100, sigma = 200, tau = 300, upsilon = 400, phi = 500, chi = 600, psi = 700, omega = 800.

a(n) = A055642(n)-A055641(n).
Differs from A098378 for the first time at position n=200 with a(200)=1, as only one nonzero arabic digit (and only one Greek letter) is needed for two hundred, while A098378(200)=2 as two characters are needed in the Ethiopic system.
