Denominator = A111936;
Lim_{n->infinity} a(n)/A111936(n) = C < 80.
The sum of the harmonic series after removing all terms containing a 9 in decimal representation in decimal system converges and the sum is < 80. Hence the sum of the harmonic series in which at least one digit is missing (from 0 to 9) converges and the sum is less than 810.

			n=9: 1/1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + 1/5 + 1/6 + 1/7 + 1/8 + 1/10 = 789/280, therefore a(9) = 789.
