Meijer_, Jul 06 2011: (Start) %C A141053 The leading digit d, 1 <= d <= 9, of A141053 follows Benford’s Law. This law states that the probability for the leading digit is p(d) = log_10(1+1/d), see the examples. %C A141053 We observe that the last digit of A134490(n), i.e. F(5*n+3) mod 10, leads to the Lucas sequence A000032(n) (mod 10), i.e. a repetitive sequence of 12 digits [2, 1, 3, 4, 7, 1, 8, 9, 7, 6, 3, 9] with p(0) = p(5) = 0, p(1) = p(3) = p(7) = p(9) = 1/6 and p(2) = p(4) = p(6) = p(8) = 1/12. This does not obey Benford’s Law, which would predict that the last digit would satisfy p(d) = 1/10, see the links.
