Today I entered the following expression in maple: $$a_i = H_{10^i} - ln(10^i) - \gamma$$ Here $H_j$ equals $\sum_{k=1}^{j} 1/k$ and $\gamma$ is the Euler-Mascheroni constant.

When I computed $a_n$ for $i = 0$ to $10$ I obtained the following results:

\begin{itemize}

So we see that the periodic strips of ...99999..., of ...66666... and ...99999... an many other periods increase for even larger $i$. The question is now: Is there any rule behind it that the remainder term $a_i$ behaves that way?
