COMMENTS
All terms are multiples of 45: A101291 = 45*(1, 109, 10990, 1099900, 109999000, ...), cf. formula. - M. F. Hasler, Nov 26 2008
All terms have digital root 9. - Halfdan Skjerning, Jun 18 2019

FORMULA
a(n) = 99*100^n/200 - 9*10^n/20 = (99*100^n - 90*10^n)/200 = 9*(11*10^(n-1) - 1)*10^(n-1)/2 = 45*(11*10^(2n-3) - 10^(n-2)). - M. F. Hasler, Nov 26 2008
Expanding and rearranging, we have a(n) = (494+1)*10^(2n-3) - (100-55)*10^(n-2) = 494*10^(2n-3) + (10^(n-3) - 1)*10^n + 55*10^(n-2) = 494*10^(2n-3) + 99...9 (n-3 times)*10^n + 55*10^(n-2). Thus, for n>2, a(n) = 494, followed by (n-3) times digit 9, followed by 55, followed by (n-2) times digit 0, i.e., 494 99...9(n-3) times 55 00...0(n-2) times. - Lekraj Beedassy, Mar 02 2017
G.f.: 45*x*(1 - x)/(1 - 110*x + 1000*x^2). - Arkadiusz Wesolowski, Jul 12 2012
EXAMPLE
a(1) = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 = 45;
a(2) = 10 + 11 + 12 + 13 + 14 + ... + 97 + 98 + 99 = 4905;
a(3) = 100 + 101 + 102 + 103 + ... + 997 + 998 + 999 = 494550.
