Different from the highest power of 9 dividing n!.

FORMULA

floor[n/9] + floor[n/81] + floor[n/729] + floor[n/6561] + ....

a(n)=(n-A053830(n))/8

Recurrence: a(n)=floor(n/9)+a(floor(n/9)); a(9*n)=n+a(n); a(n*9^m)=n*(9^m-1)/8+a(n). - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Aug 14 2007

a(k*9^m)=k*(9^m-1)/8, for 0<=k<9, m>=0. - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Aug 14 2007

Asymptotic behavior: a(n)=n/8+O(log(n)), a(n+1)-a(n)=O(log(n)); this follows from the inequalities below. - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Aug 14 2007

a(n)<=(n-1)/8; equality holds for powers of 9. - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Aug 14 2007

a(n)>=(n-8)/8-floor(log_9(n)); equality holds for n=9^m-1, m>0. - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Aug 14 2007

lim inf (n/8-a(n))=1/8, for n-->oo. - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Aug 14 2007

lim sup (n/8-log_9(n)-a(n))=0, for n-->oo. - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Aug 14 2007

lim sup (a(n+1)-a(n)-log_9(n))=0, for n-->oo. - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Aug 14 2007

G.f.: g(x)=sum{k>0, x^(9^k)/(1-x^(9^k))}/(1-x). - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Aug 14 2007
