%N Smallest number whose sum of digits is n.

%C This is also the list of lunar triangular numbers: A087052 with duplicates removed. - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Jan 25 2011

%C Numbers n such that A061486(n) = n. - _Amarnath Murthy_, May 06 2001

%C The product of digits incremented by 1 is the same as the number incremented by 1. If a(n) = abcd...(a,b,c,d, etc. are digits of a(n)) {a(n) + 1} = (a+1)*(b+1)(c+1)*(d+1)*..., e.g., 299 + 1 = (2+1)*(9+1)*(9+1) = 300. - _Amarnath Murthy_, Jul 29 2003

%C A138471(a(n)) = 0. - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Mar 19 2008

%C a(n+1) = A108971(A179988(n)). - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Aug 09 2010, Jul 10 2011

%C Positions of records in A003132: A080151(n) = A003132(a(n)). - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Jul 10 2011

%C a(n) = A242614(n,1). - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Jul 16 2014

%C A254524(a(n)) = 1. - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Oct 09 2015

%C The slowest strictly increasing sequence of nonnegative integers such that, for any two terms, calculating the difference of their decimal representations requires no borrowing. - _Rick L. Shepherd_, Aug 11 2017
