a(n) represents the minimum number k, not already present in the sequence, whose digit sum is equal to the digital root of Sum_{j=0..n-1} a(j), with a(0)=0 and a(1)=1.

%N a(n) represents the minimum number k, not already present in the sequence, whose digit sum is equal to the digital root of Sum_{j=0..n-1} a(j), with a(0)=0 and a(1)=1.

%C From a(3) onward the digital root is periodic with period length equal to six: 1,2,4,8,7,5.

%e a(3) = 10 because a(0) + a(1) = 1 and 10 is the minimum number greater than 1 whose digit sum is equal to 1.

%Y Cf. A010888.
