%N Sum of digits of numbers between 0 and (8/9)*(10^n-1).

%F a(n) = s(8, n-1) where s(a, k)=a*(k+1)+a^2*sum(i=0, k, i*10^(k-i))+sum(i=0, k, 5*a*(9*(k-i)+a- 1)*10^(k-i-1)).

%F a(n) = (4*(-11*(-1+10^n)+9*(2+9*10^n)*n))/81. G.f.: 4*x*(20*x^2-11*x+9) / ((x-1)^2*(10*x-1)^2). - _Colin Barker_, Jun 14 2013
