The entries 1 to 79 match the corresponding subsequence of A043095, but then 81, 91-98, 100, 102, etc. are only in one of the two sequences. - R. J. Mathar, Oct 13 2008
Complement of A011540; A168046(a(n)) = 1; A054054(a(n)) > 0; A007602, A038186, A038618, A052041, A052043, and A052045 are subsequences. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Apr 25 2012, Apr 07 2011, Dec 01 2009
a(n) = n written in base 9 where zeros are not allowed but nines are. The nine distinct digits used are 1, 2, 3, ..., 9 instead of 0, 1, 2, ..., 8. To obtain this sequence from the "canonical" base 9 sequence with zeros allowed, just replace any 0 with a 9 and then subtract one from the group of digits situated on the left. For example, 9^3 = 729 (10) (in base 10) = 1000 (9) (in base 9) = 889 (9-{0}) (in base 9 without zeros) because 100 (9) = [9-1]9 = 89 (9-{0}) and thus 1000 (9) = [89-1]9 = 889 (9-{0}). - Robin Garcia, Jan 15 2014

Inversion: Given a term m, the index n such that a(n) = m can be calculated by A052382_inverse(m) = m - sum_{1<=j<=k} floor(m/10^j)*9^(j-1), where k := floor(log_10(m)) [see Prog section for an implementation in Smalltalk].
Example 1: A052382_inverse(137) = 137 - (floor(137/10) + floor(137/100)*9) = 137 - (13*1 + 1*9) = 137 - 22 = 115.
Example 2: A052382_inverse(4321) = 4321 - (floor(4321/10) + floor(4321/100)*9 + floor(4321/1000)*81) = 4321 - (432*1 + 43*9 + 4*81) = 4321 - (432 + 387 + 324) = 3178. (End)
The sum of the reciprocals of these numbers from a(1)=1 to infinity, called the Kempner series, is convergent towards a limit: 23.103447... whose decimal expansion is in A082839. - Bernard Schott, Feb 23 2019

FORMULA
a(n+1) = f(a(n)) with f(x) = 1 + if x mod 10 < 9 then x else 10*f([x/10]). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Nov 15 2009
From Hieronymus Fischer, Apr 30, May 30, Jun 08 2012, Feb 17 2019: (Start)
a(n) = Sum_{j=0..m-1} (1 + b(j) mod 9)*10^j, where m = floor(log_9(8*n + 1)), b(j) = floor((8*n + 1 - 9^m)/(8*9^j)).
Also: a(n) = Sum_{j=0..m-1} (1 + A010878(b(j)))*10^j.
a(9*n + k) = 10*a(n) + k, k=1..9.
Special values:
a(k*(9^n - 1)/8) = k*(10^n - 1)/9, k=1..9.
a((17*9^n - 9)/8) = 2*10^n - 1.
a((9^n - 1)/8 - 1) = 10^(n-1) - 1, n > 1.
Inequalities:
a(n) <= (1/9)*((8*n+1)^(1/log_10(9)) - 1), equality holds for n=(9^k-1)/8, k>0.
a(n) > (1/10)*(8*n+1)^(1/log_10(9)) - 1), n > 0.
Lower and upper limits:
lim inf a(n)/10^log_9(8*n) = 1/10, for n -> infinity.
lim inf a(n)/n^(1/log_10(9)) = 8^(1/log_10(9))/10, for n -> infinity.
lim sup a(n)/10^log_9(8*n) = 1/9, for n -> infinity.
lim sup a(n)/n^(1/log_10(9)) = 8^(1/log_10(9))/9, for n -> infinity.
G.f.: g(x) = (x^(1/8)*(1-x))^(-1) Sum_{j>=0} 10^j*z(j)^(9/8)*(1 - 10z(j)^9 + 9z(j)^10)/((1-z(j))(1-z(j)^9)), where z(j) = x^9^j.
Also: g(x) = (1/(1-x)) Sum_{j>=0} (1 - 10(x^9^j)^9 + 9(x^9^j)^10)*x^9^j*f_j(x)/(1-x^9^j), where f_j(x) = 10^j*x^((9^j-1)/8)/(1-(x^9^j)^9). Here, the f_j obey the recurrence f_0(x) = 1/(1-x^9), f_(j+1)(x) = 10x*f_j(x^9).
Also: g(x) = (1/(1-x))*((Sum{k=0..8} h_(9,k)(x)) - 9*h_(9,9)(x)), where h_(9,k)(x) = Sum_{j>=0} 10^j*x^((9^(j+1)-1)/8)*x^(k*9^j)/(1-x^9^(j+1)).
Generic formulas for analogous sequences with numbers expressed in base p and only using the digits 1, 2, 3, ... d, where 1 < d < p:
a(n) = Sum_{j=0..m-1} (1 + b(j) mod d)*p^j, where m = floor(log_d((d-1)*n+1)), b(j) = floor(((d-1)*n+1-d^m)/((d-1)*d^j)).
Special values:
a(k*(d^n-1)/(d-1)) = k*(10^n-1)/9, k=1..d.
a(d*((2d-1)*d^(n-1)-1)/(d-1)) = ((d+9)*10^n-d)/9 = 10^n + d*(10^n-1)/9.
a((d^n-1)/(d-1)-1) = d*(10^(n-1)-1)/9, n > 1.
Inequalities:
a(n) <= (10^log_d((d-1)*n+1)-1)/9, equality holds for n = (d^k-1)/(d-1), k > 0.
a(n) > (d/10)*(10^log_d((d-1)*n+1)-1)/9, n > 0.
Lower and upper limits:
lim inf a(n)/10^log_d((d-1)*n) = d/90, for n -> infinity.
lim sup a(n)/10^log_d((d-1)*n) = 1/9, for n -> infinity.
G.f.: g(x) = (1/(1-x)) Sum_{j>=0} (1 - (d+1)(x^d^j)^d + d(x^d^j)^(d+1))*x^d^j*f_j(x)/(1-x^d^j), where f_j(x) = p^j*x^((d^j-1)/(d-1))/(1-(x^d^j)^d). Here, the f_j obey the recursion f_0(x) = 1/(1-x^d), f_(j+1)(x) = px*f_j(x^d).

From Hieronymus Fischer, Feb 20 2019: (Start)
Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = 0.696899720...
Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n)^2 = 1.6269683705819...
Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = 23.1034479... = A082839. This so-called Kempner series converges very slowly. For the calculation of the sum, it is helpful to use the following fraction of partial sums, which converges rapidly:
lim_{n->infinity} (Sum_{k=p(n)..p(n+1)-1} 1/a(k)) / (Sum_{k=p(n-1)..p(n)-1} 1/a(k)) = 9/10, where p(n) = (9^n-1)/8, n > 1.
