FORMULA

G.f.=x^7/(1-x-x^2-x^3-x^4-x^5-x^6-x^7-x^8). - Emeric Deutsch, Apr 16 2005

a(1-9)=1,1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128. a(10 & following)=63*2^(n-8)+(.5+sqrt1.25)^(n-6)/sqrt5-(.5-sqrt1.25)^(n-6)/sqrt5. Offset 10. a(10)=255. [From Al Hakanson (hawkuu(AT)gmail.com), Feb 14 2009]

Another form of tjhe g.f.: f(z)=(z^7-z^8)/(1-2*z+z^9), then a(n)=sum((-1)^i*binomial(n-7-8*i,i)*2^(n-7-9*i),i=0..floor((n-7)/9))-sum((-1)^i*binomial(n-8-8*i,i)*2^(n-8-9*i),i=0..floor((n-8)/9)) with sum(alpha(i),i=m..n))=0 for m>n. [From Richard Choulet, Feb 22 2010]

sum_{k=0..7*n} A079262(k+b)*A171890(n,k) = A079262(8*n+b), b>=0.

For a(0)=a(1)=..=a(6)=0, a(7)=a(8)=1, a(n)=2*a(n-1)-a(n-9).[From Vincenzo Librandi, Dec 20 2010]

EXAMPLE

a(16) = 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32 + 64 + 128 = 255.
