Comments

Let T(n) denote the n-th triangular number. If i, j are any two successive elements of the above sequence then (T(i-1) + T(j-1))/T(i+j-1) = 9/11.

Formula

G.f.: x/(1-10*x+10*x^2-x^3) = x/((1-x)*(1-9*x+x^2)).

a(n) = 10*a(n-1) - 10*a(n-2) + a(n-3), n >= 3; a(0)=0, a(1)=1, a(2)=10.

a(n) = (S(n,9) - S(n-1,9) - 1)/7, n >= 1.

a(n+1) = Sum_{k=0..n} S(n,9), n >= 0, with S(n,9) = U(n,9/2) = A018913(n+1). (Partial sums of Chebyshev sequence A018913.)

Mathematica
