COMMENTS

Also the fixed point of the morphism 0->{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}, 1->{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}, 2->{2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}, etc. - Robert G. Wilson v Jul 27 2006.

a(n) = A138530(n,9) for n > 8. - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Mar 26 2008

FORMULA

a(0)=0, a(9n+i)=a(n)+i 0<=i<=8; a(n)=n-8*(sum(k>0, floor(n/9^k))=n-8*A054898(n). - Benoit Cloitre, Dec 19, 2002

a(n)=Sum_k>=0 {A031087(n,k)}. - From DELEHAM Philippe, Oct 21 2011.

EXAMPLE

a(20)=2+2=4 because 20 is written as 22 base 9

Contribution from Omar E. Pol (info(AT)polprimos.com), Feb 23 2010: (Start)

It appears that this can be written as a triangle (See the conjecture in the entry A000120):

0;

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8;

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11...

where the rows converge to A173529. (End)
