Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS
The initial terms coincide with those of A003953, although the two sequences are eventually different.
Computed with MAGMA using commands similar to those used to compute A154638.
FORMULA
G.f.: (t^11 + 2*t^10 + 2*t^9 + 2*t^8 + 2*t^7 + 2*t^6 + 2*t^5 + 2*t^4 + 2*t^3 + 2*t^2 + 2*t + 1)/(45*t^11 - 9*t^10 - 9*t^9 - 9*t^8 - 9*t^7 - 9*t^6 - 9*t^5 - 9*t^4 - 9*t^3 - 9*t^2 - 9*t + 1).
From G. C. Greubel, Jul 23 2024: (Start)
a(n) = 9*Sum_{j=1..10} a(n-j) - 45*a(n-11).
G.f.: (1+t)*(1-t^11)/(1 - 10*t + 54*t^11 - 45*t^12). (End)
