The sequence of the index elements is A008510 in the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (N. J. A. Sloane (Ed.), 2008).

The sequence of the triangular elements is A229236 in the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (N. J. A. Sloane (Ed.), 2008).


Historical Note

David Wells reports in Curious and Interesting Numbers, 2nd ed. that Charles Ashbacher reports on this sequence (in particular $363 \, 474 \, 363$) in Journal of Recreational Mathematics, Volume $24$, page $184$, but this has not been corroborated.
