FORMULA
|
a(1)=49; a(n) = 4*(sum(i=n...2n-1)10^i)+8*sum(i=1...n-1)10^i)+9, n>=2
a(n)=111*a(n-1)-1110*a(n-2)+1000*a(n-3) = (4*100^n+4*10^n+1)/9. G.f.: x(49-950x+1000x^2)/((1-x)(100x-1)(10x-1)). [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Jan 06 2009]

EXAMPLE
|
a(5)=4444488889 because the first 5 terms are 4's, the next 5-1=4 terms are 8's and the last digit is 9.
