n == n^3 mod 9, so the iterated sum of the decimal digits of n and n^3 are equal.

FORMULA
G.f.: x^2*(1+7*x+x^2) / ((1+x+x^2)*(x-1)^2). - R. J. Mathar, Oct 08 2011
From Wesley Ivan Hurt, Jun 14 2016: (Start)
a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-3) - a(n-4) for n>4.
a(n) = 3*n-3+2*cos(2*n*Pi/3)+2*sin(2*n*Pi/3)/sqrt(3).
a(3k) = 9k-1, a(3k-1) = 9k-8, a(3k-2) = 9k-9. (End)
a(n) -a(n-1) = A105395(n+1), n>1. - R. J. Mathar, Jul 19 2024
