%N a(n+1) is the smallest integer such that the difference between its digital sum and the digital sum of a(n) is n.

%C The digital sums are the triangular numbers A000217. A similar idea is in A268605 (thanks to Michel Marcus for this comment).

%e a(8) = 1999 and 1 + 9 + 9 + 9 = 28; so a(9) = 9999 because 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 = 36 and 36 - 28 = 8.

%o (Python)

%o s = 0

%o for i in range(1,100):

%o ..alfa = ""

%o ..k = i + s

%o ..s = k

%o ..while k > 9:

%o ....alfa = alfa + "9"

%o ....k = k - 9

%o ..alfa = str(k)+alfa

%o ..print alfa

%o (PARI) findnext(x, k) = {sx = sumdigits(x); y = 1; while (sumdigits(y) - sx != k, y++); y; }

%o lista(nn) = {print1(x = 0, ", "); for (k=1, nn, y = findnext(x, k); print1(y, ", "); x = y; ); }

%Y Cf. A000217, A268605.
