Strictly speaking, a junction number is a number n with more than one solution to x+digitsum(x) = n. However, it seems best to start this sequence with n=0, for which there is just one solution, x=0. - N. J. A. Sloane, Oct 31 2013.
a(3) = 10^13 + 1 was found by Narasinga Rao, who reports that Kaprekar verified that it is the smallest term. No details of Kaprekar's proof were given.
a(4) = 10^24 + 102 was conjectured by Narasinga Rao.
a(5) = 10^1111111111124 + 102. - Conjectured by Narasinga Rao, confirmed by Max Alekseyev and N. J. A. Sloane.
a(6) = 10^2222222222224 + 10000000000002. - Max Alekseyev
a(7) = 10^( (10^24 + 10^13 + 115) / 9 ) + 10^13 + 2. - Max Alekseyev
a(8) = 10^( (2*10^24 + 214)/9 ) + 10^24 + 103. - Max Alekseyev

			a(2) = 101 since 101 is the smallest number with two generators: 101 = A062028(91) = A062028(100).
a(4) = 10^24 + 102 = 1000000000000000000000102 has exactly four inverses w.r.t. A062028, namely 999999999999999999999893, 999999999999999999999902, 1000000000000000000000091 and 1000000000000000000000100.

a(A049084(A006378(n))) = 0; a(A049084(A048521(n))) > 0. [Corrected by Reinhard Zumkeller, Sep 27 2014]
a(n) <= 2 for n <= 10^5. Conjecture: sequence is bounded.
I would rather conjecture the opposite. Of course a(n) >= m implies n >= A006064(m), having more than A230857(m) digits, i.e., 14, 25 and 1111111111125 digits of n, for a(n) = 3, 4, 5. - M. F. Hasler, Nov 09 2018

			A000040(26) = 101 = 91 + (9 + 1) = 100 + (1 + 0 + 0): a(26) = # {91, 100} = 2.
