A356348 a(0) = 0; for n > 0, a(n) is the number of preceding terms having the same digit sum as a(n-1).

Example

a(21) = 2 as a(20) = 11 which has a digit sum of 2, and there has been two previous terms with a digit sum of two: a(3) = 2 and a(20) = 11.

Mathematica

nn = 94; c[_] = 0; a[0] = k = 0; c[0] = 1; Do[a[n] = c[k]; k = Total@ IntegerDigits[a[n]]; c[k]++, {n, nn}]; Array[a, nn] (* Michael De Vlieger, Oct 15 2022 *)
