%F a(n) = 9*a(n-1) + 9.
%F a(n) = 9*(9^n-1)/8 = sum_{j=1..n} 9^j = a(n-1)+9^n = 9*A002452(n) = A002452(n+1)-1; write A000918(n+1) in base 2 and read as if written in base 9. - _Henry Bottomley_, Aug 30 2001
%F a(n) = 10*a(n-1)-9*a(n-2). G.f.: 9*x / ((x-1)*(9*x-1)). - _Colin Barker_, Sep 26 2013
%e For n=2, the numbers from 1 to 99 which *have* 0 as a digit are the 9 numbers 10, 20, 30, ..., 90. So a(1) = 99 - 9 = 90.
