Formula

From Hieronymus Fischer, Jun 10 2012: (Start)

a(n) = (1/2)*Sum_{j=1..m+1} (floor(n/10^j + 1/5)*(2n + 2 - (3/5 + floor(n/10^j + 1/5))*10^j) - floor(n/10^j)*(2n + 2 - (1+floor(n/10^j)) * 10^j)), where m = floor(log_10(n)).

a(n) = (n+1)*A102681(n) + (1/2)*Sum_{j=1..m+1} ((-3/5*floor(n/10^j + 1/5) + floor(n/10^j))*10^j - (floor(n/10^j + 1/5)^2 - floor(n/10^j)^2)*10^j), where m = floor(log_10(n)).

a(10^m-1) = 2*m*10^(m-1). (this is total number of digits >= 8 occurring in all the numbers with <= m places).

G.f.: g(x) = (1/(1-x)^2)*Sum_{j>=0} (x^(8*10^j) - x^(10*10^j))/(1-x^10^(j+1)). (End)
