Seiichi Manyama, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..3000
Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (9,-36,84,-126,126,-84,36,-9).
FORMULA
G.f.: (1 - x)^8/((1 - x)^9 + x^9).
a(n) = 9*a(n-1) - 36*a(n-2) + 84*a(n-3) - 126*a(n-4) + 126*a(n-5) - 84*a(n-6) + 36*a(n-7) - 9*a(n-8) for n > 8.
MATHEMATICA
a[n_] := Sum[(-1)^k * Binomial[n, 9*k], {k, 0, Floor[n/9]}]; Array[a, 37, 0] (* Amiram Eldar, May 25 2021 *)
PROG
(PARI) {a(n) = sum(k=0, n\9, (-1)^k*binomial(n, 9*k))}
(PARI) N=66; x='x+O('x^N); Vec((1-x)^8/((1-x)^9+x^9))
