COMMENTS
a(n) is the number of n-digit numbers in A031962.
FORMULA
O.g.f.: 648*x^3/(1 - 6*x + 11*x^2 - 6*x^3).
E.g.f.: 108*(exp(x) - 1)^3.
a(n) = 6*a(n-1) - 11*a(n-2) + 6*a(n-3) for n > 3.
a(n) = 648*S2(n, 3) where S2(n, 3) = A000392(n).
a(n) = 324*(3^(n-1) - 2^n + 1).
a(n) ~ 108 * 3^n.
a(n) = 324*(A000244(n-1) - A000225(n)).
a(n) = A337127(n, 3).
EXAMPLE
a(1) = a(2) = 0 since the positive integers must have at least three digits;
a(3) = #{xyz in N | x,y,z are three different digits with x != 0} = 9*9*8 = 648;
a(4) = 3888 since #[9999] - #[999] - #(1111*[9]) - A335843(4) - #{xywz in N | x,y,w,z are four different digits with x != 0} = 9999 - 999 - 9 - 567 - 9*9*8*7 = 3888;
