a(n) is the number of n-digit numbers in A031969.
FORMULA
O.g.f.: 4536*x^4/(1 - 10*x + 35*x^2 - 50*x^3 + 24*x^4).
E.g.f.: 189*(exp(x) - 1)^4.
a(n) = 10*a(n-1) - 35*a(n-2) + 50*a(n-3) - 24*a(n-4) for n > 4.
a(n) = 4536*S2(n, 4) where S2(n, 4) = A000453(n).
a(n) = 189*(4^n - 4*3^n + 3*2^(n+1) - 4).
a(n) ~ 189 * 4^n.
a(n) = 189*(A000302(n) - 4*A000244(n) + 3*A000079(n+1) - 4).
a(n) = A337127(n, 4).
EXAMPLE
a(1) = a(2) = a(3) = 0 since the positive integers must have at least four digits;
a(4) = #{wxyz in N | w,x,y,z are four different digits with w != 0} = A073531(4) = 4536;
a(5) = 45360 since #[99999] - #[9999] - #(11111*[9]) - A335843(5) - A337313(5) - #{vwxyz in N | v,w,x,y,z are five different digits with v != 0} = 99999 - 9999 - 9 - 1215 - 16200 - 9*9*8*7*6 = 45360;
