COMMENTS
Sometimes called the Fibonacci 9-step numbers.
For n >= 8, this gives the number of integers written without 0 in base ten, the sum of digits of which is equal to n-7. E.g., a(11) = 8 because we have the 8 numbers: 4, 13, 22, 31, 112, 121, 211, 1111.
The offset for this sequence is fairly arbitrary. - N. J. A. Sloane, Feb 27 2009
FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{k=1..9} a(n-k) for n > 8, a(8) = 1, a(n) = 0 for n=0..7.
G.f.: x^8/(1-x-x^2-x^3-x^4-x^5-x^6-x^7-x^8-x^9). - N. J. A. Sloane, Dec 04 2011
Another form of the g.f. f: f(z) = (z^8-z^9)/(1-2*z+z^(10)), then a(n) = Sum_((-1)^i*binomial(n-8-9*i,i)*2^(n-8-10*i), i=0..floor((n-8)/10))-Sum_((-1)^i*binomial(n-9-9*i,i)*2^(n-9-10*i), i=0..floor((n-9)/10)) with Sum_(alpha(i), i=m..n)=0 for m>n. - Richard Choulet, Feb 22 2010
Let b be the smallest root (in magnitude) of g(x) := 1-x-x^2-x^3-x^4-x^5-x^6-x^7-x^8-x^9, b = 0.50049311828655225605926845999420216157202861343888...
Let c = -b^8/g'(b) = 0.00099310812055463178382193226558248643030626601288701...
Then a(n) is the nearest integer to c/b^n. (End)
