Comments

The base 9/8 expansion is unique and thus the sum of digits function is well-defined.

Formula

a(n) = A007953(A024656(n)).

Example

In base 9/8 the number 16 is represented by 87 and so a(16) = 8 + 7 = 15.

Mathematica

a[n_] := a[n] = If[n == 0, 0, a[8 * Floor[n/9]] + Mod[n, 9]]; Array[a, 100, 0] (* Amiram Eldar, Aug 04 2025 *)
