COMMENTS

In most cases (perhaps in all other) except for n = 19 the digit sum in the first round itself is n. In case of 19 the first round of digit sum is 199 and the second round digit sum is 19.

EXAMPLE

a(19)=1949999999999999999999491. The smallest such number is 194 followed by 19 nines followed by 491. The first digit sum would be 199 and the next sum is 19.

MATHEMATICA

(*This code works for all numbers up to 100 except 19*) NextPalindrome[n_] := Block[{l = Floor[Log[10, n] + 1], idn = IntegerDigits[n]}, If[ Union[idn] == {9}, Return[n + 2], If[l < 2, Return[n + 1], If[ FromDigits[ Reverse[ Take[idn, Ceiling[l/2]]]] FromDigits[ Take[idn, -Ceiling[l/2]]], FromDigits[ Join[ Take[idn, Ceiling[l/2]], Reverse[ Take[idn, Floor[l/2]]]]], idfhn = FromDigits[ Take[idn, Ceiling[l/2]]] + 1;

idp = FromDigits[ Join[ IntegerDigits[idfhn], Drop[ Reverse[ IntegerDigits[ idfhn]], Mod[l, 2]]]]]]]]; f[n_] := Block[{k = 1, dn = IntegerDigits[n]}, sdn = 2*Plus @@ dn; If[sdn == 2n, n, If[sdn == n, FromDigits[ Join[dn, Reverse[dn]]], If[sdn > n, 0, k = 10^Floor[(n - sdn)/9] - 1;; While[Plus @@ IntegerDigits[k] + sdn != n, k = NextPalindrome[k]]; FromDigits[ Join[dn, IntegerDigits[k], Reverse[dn]]]]]]]; Table[ f[n], {n, 1, 35}]
