Also the fixed point of the morphism 0->{0,1,2,3,4,5,6}, 1->{1,2,3,4,5,6,7}, 2->{2,3,4,5,6,7,8}, etc. - Robert G. Wilson v, Jul 27 2006

FORMULA
From Benoit Cloitre, Dec 19 2002: (Start)
a(0) = 0, a(7n+i) = a(n) + i for 0 <= i <= 6.
a(n) = n - 6*(Sum_{k>0} floor(n/7^k)) = n - 6*A054896(n). (End)
a(n) = A138530(n,7) for n > 6. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Mar 26 2008
a(n) = Sum_{k>=0} A031007(n,k). - Philippe Deléham, Oct 21 2011
a(0) = 0; a(n) = a(n - 7^floor(log_7(n))) + 1. - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Aug 24 2019
Sum_{n>=1} a(n)/(n*(n+1)) = 7*log(7)/6 (Shallit, 1984). - Amiram Eldar, Jun 03 2021
EXAMPLE
a(20) = 2 + 6 = 8 because 20 = 26_7.
From Omar E. Pol, Feb 21 2010: (Start)
It appears that this can be written as a triangle (see the conjecture in the entry A000120):
0,
1,2,3,4,5,6,
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,7,8,9,10,11,...
where the rows converge to A173527. (End)
