This sequence differs from A071980 beginning with n = 1010, and differs formulaically beginning with n = 1000 (the first four digit number). Where A071980 is calculated as a + ab + abc + abcd + bcd + cd + d for four digit numbers abcd, this sequence also includes the term bc in the sum.
Limits: n <= a(n) < 1.73*n. Proof: a(n)/n will be maximized when substrings are as large as possible while n is as small as possible, or for numbers of the form 199999999... The sum of substrings of this number is < 222222... + < 1234567... or < 3456790123.../2000000000... or < 1.728396.
The number 111 is the smallest term that occurs twice in the sequence, when n = {96, 100}. The number 2254 is the smallest term that occurs three times in the sequence, when n = {1476, 1510, 2008}.

FORMULA
EXAMPLE
For n=1980, a(n) = 1 + 9 + 8 + 0 + 19 + 98 + 80 + 198 + 980 + 1980 = 3373. Note that A071980(1980) = 3258, because it does not include 9, 8, 98 in the sum.
