Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N a(0) = 0; a(n) is obtained by incrementing each digit of a(n-1) by 9.

%C In A061511-A061522, A061746-A061750 when the incremented digit exceeds 9 it is written as a 2-digit string. So 9+1 becomes the 2-digit string 10, etc.
