COMMENTS
For n > 1, a(n) is n-2 9's followed by an 8, followed by n 0's. - John Cerkan, May 23 2017
FORMULA
From Chai Wah Wu, Oct 25 2018: (Start)
a(n) = 110*a(n-1) - 1000*a(n-2) for n > 3.
G.f.: 400*x^2*(25*x + 2)/((10*x - 1)*(100*x - 1)). (End)
EXAMPLE
a(3) is 98000 because its length-3 substrings (980, 800, 000) are all distinct and divisible by 20 and there is no larger number with this property
