COMMENTS

This sequence gives the number of 1's (or any other digit) required to write all integers of n or fewer digits. It is thus A094798 for n=9, 99, 999, .... Another formula: a(n) = 10*a(n-1)+10(n-1) a(n) = Sum_{k=1...n} k*C(n,k)*9^(n-k) - Jason D. W. Taff (jtaff(AT)jburroughs.org), Dec 05 2004
