FORMULA

a(18*k+j) = a(18*(k+1)-j) = j for k >= 0, j = 0..9.
G.f.: x*(1+x+x^2)*(1+x^3+x^6)/((1-x)*(1+x)*(1-x+x^2)*(1-x^3+x^6)). - Klaus Brockhaus, Sep 07 2009
a(n) = (1/153)*{13*(n mod 18)+13*[(n+1) mod 18]+13*[(n+2) mod 18]+13*[(n+3) mod 18]+13*[(n+4) mod 18]+13*[(n+5) mod 18]+13*[(n+6) mod 18]+13*[(n+7) mod 18]+13*[(n+8) mod 18]-4*[(n+9) mod 18]-4*[(n+10) mod 18]-4*[(n+11) mod 18]-4*[(n+12) mod 18]-4*[(n+13) mod 18]-4*[(n+14) mod 18]-4*[(n+15) mod 18]-4*[(n+16) mod 18]-4*[(n+17) mod 18]}, with n>=0. - Paolo P. Lava, Nov 12 2009
a(n) = Sum_{i=0..n-1} (-1)^floor(i/9). - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Jul 25 2015
a(n) = abs(n - 18*round(n/18)). - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Dec 10 2016
