COMMENTS

The digital sum analogue (in base 9) of the Fibonacci recurrence. - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Jun 27 2007

a(n) and Fib(n)=A000045(n) are congruent modulo 8 which implies that (a(n) mod 8) is equal to (Fib(n) mod 8) = A079344(n). Thus (a(n) mod 8) is periodic with the Pisano period A001175(8)=12. - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Jun 27 2007

a(n)==A004090(n) modulo 8 (A004090(n)=digital sum of Fib(n)). - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Jun 27 2007

For general bases p>2, we have the inequality 2<=a(n)<=2p-3 (for n>2). Actually, a(n)<=13=A131319(9) for the base p=9. - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Jun 27 2007

FORMULA

Periodic from n=3 with period 12. - Frank Adams-Watters (FrankTAW(AT)Netscape.net), Mar 13 2006

a(n)=a(n-1)+a(n-2)-8*(floor(a(n-1)/9)+floor(a(n-2)/9)). - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Jun 27 2007

a(n)=floor(a(n-1)/9)+floor(a(n-2)/9)+(a(n-1)mod 9)+(a(n-2)mod 9). - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Jun 27 2007

a(n)=(a(n-1)+a(n-2)+8*(A010878(a(n-1))+A010878(a(n-2))))/9. - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Jun 27 2007

a(n)=Fib(n)-8*sum{1<k<n, Fib(n-k+1)*floor(a(k)/9)} where Fib(n)=A000045(n). - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Jun 27 2007
