0,3

Number of integers in [0, 10^n-1] whose sums of digits are equal to the most common value, which is 9*n/2 for even n and (9*n +/- 1)/2 for odd n > 1. E.g., the most common value of sums of digits of numbers from 0 to 9999 is 9*4/2 = 18, so there are a(4)=670 numbers in this range whose sums of digits are 18. - Warut Roonguthai, Jun 08 2006

Generally, largest coefficient of (1 + x + ... + x^k)^n is asymptotic to (k+1)^n * sqrt(6/(k*(k+2)*Pi*n)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 09 2013

a(n) is the largest coefficients of the n-th row of A213651. - Miquel Cerda, Jul 19 2017

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(9*n/20)}(-1)^(k)*binomial(n, k)*binomial(n+floor(9*n/2)-10*k-1, n-1). - Warut Roonguthai, Jun 08 2006

a(n) ~ 10^n * sqrt(2/(33*Pi*n)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 09 2013
