FORMULA

a(2n)=2*10^n-2, a(2n+1)=11*10^n-2.  - Sascha Kurz (sascha.kurz(AT)uni-bayreuth.de), Apr 14 2002

a(n) = SUM[i=1..n] A050683(i) = SUM[i=1..n] 9*10^floor[(i-1)/2] = 9 * SUM[i=1..n] 10^floor[(i-1)/2].  - Jonathan Vos Post (jvospost3(AT)gmail.com), Jun 18 2008

G.f.: 9*x*(1+x)/((1-x)*(1-10*x^2)). a(n) = (1/2)*10^((2*n+(-1)^n-1)/4)*(13-9*(-1)^n)-2.  - Bruno Berselli, Feb 15 2011

a(1)=9, a(2)=18, a(3)=108, a(n)=a(n-1)+10*a(n-2)-10*a(n-3) [From Harvey P. Dale, Jan 29 2012]
