COMMENTS
For n>=1, a(n) is equal to the number of functions f:{1,2...,n}->{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9} such that for a fixed x in {1,2,...,n} and a fixed y in {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9} we have f(x)<>y. - Aleksandar M. Janjic and Milan Janjic, Mar 27 2007
a(n) is the number of compositions of n when there are 8 types of each natural number. - Milan Janjic, Aug 13 2010

FORMULA
G.f.: (1-x)/(1-9x).
a(n) = 8*9^(n-1); a(0)=1.
a(n) = 9a(n-1) + (-1)^n*C(1,1-n).
E.g.f.: (1 + 8*exp(9*x))/9. - G. C. Greubel, Mar 16 2020
MAPLE
1, seq(8*9^(n-1), n=1..25); # G. C. Greubel, Mar 16 2020
MATHEMATICA
q = 9; Join[{a = 1}, Table[If[n == 0, a = q*a - 1, a = q*a], {n, 0, 25}]] (* Vladimir Joseph Stephan Orlovsky, Jul 11 2011 *)
PROG
(PARI) a(n)=if(n, 8*9^(n-1), 1) \\ Charles R Greathouse IV, Oct 07 2015
