Comments

Digital root of Fib(18*n).

Decimal expansion of 221/1111.

Examples

			For n=2, a(2) = digital root of Fibonacci(18*2) or 14930352; therefore, a(2) = 9, since the digital root of 14930352 = 9.

Formula

a(n) = A010888(Fibonacci(18*n)).

From Wesley Ivan Hurt, Sep 03 2022: (Start)

a(n) = a(n-4) for n >= 5.

a(n) = (9/4)*(3+(-1)^n)-7*sin(n*Pi/2)/2. (End)
