%N a(n) = 1 + A053830(n-1), where A053830 is the sum of the digits of its argument in base 9.

%C If A053830 is regarded as a triangle then the rows converge to this sequence.

%C This is the case b=9 of a non-periodic sequence, with key formulas and definitions provided with b=5 in A173525. Case b=2 is in A063787, and cases b=3 to 8 are in A173523 to A173528.

%F a(n) = A053830(9^k + n - 1) where k >= ceiling(log_9(n/8)). - _R. J. Mathar_, Dec 09 2010
