FORMULA

a(n) = sum(k=1..9, a(n-k) ) for n>0, a(0)=9, a(n)=-1 for n=-8..-1

G.f. -x*(1+2*x+3*x^2+4*x^3+5*x^4+6*x^5+7*x^6+8*x^7+9*x^8) / ( -1+x+x^2+x^3+x^4+x^5+x^6+x^7+x^8+x^9 ). - R. J. Mathar, Jun 20 2011

a(n)=n*sum(k=1..n, sum(i=0..(n-k)/9, (-1)^i*binomial(k,k-i)*binomial(n-9*i-1,k-1))/k). [From Vladimir Kruchinin, Aug 10 2011]

PROG

(Maxima)
