%N Number of base 9 circular n-digit numbers with adjacent digits differing by 2 or less.
%C [Empirical] a(base,n)=a(base-1,n)+A005191(n+1) for base>=2.int(n/2)+1.
%C See A285280 for confirmation of linear recurrence and code to produce sequence; also confirms conjectured g.f. from _Colin Barker_. - _Ray Chandler_, Aug 12 2023.
