COMMENTS
0 is taken to be 1 digit long so a(1) = 0.
Terms can be derived from A364779 by a(n) = s for the smallest s where k = A364779(s) is >= n digits long (noting that stripping trailing 0's from k suffices to show numbers with sum of digits s exist at each length down to where sum s-1 exists).
FORMULA
a(n) = Min_{4*A087192(n-1) <= k < 4*A087192(n)} A244041(k), for n >= 2.
CROSSREFS
