COMMENT

Recursive definition: a(1)=1, a(n) = least number m>a(n-1) such that the fractional part of (10/9)^m is greater than the

fractional part of (10/9)^k for all k, 1<=k<m.

The next such number must be greater than 2*10^5.

FORMULA

Recursion: a(1):=1, a(k):=min{ m>1 | fract((10/9)^m) > fract((10/9)^a(k-1))}, where fract(x) = x-floor(x).

EXAMPLE

a(7)=13, since fract((10/9)^13)= 0.93..., but fract((10/9)^k)<0.89 for 1<=k<=12;

thus fract((10/9)^13)>fract((10/9)^k) for 1<=k<13 and 13 is the minimal exponent > 6 with this property.
