COMMENT

Also: a(1)=1, a(n)=maximal positive number <a(n-1) not encountered so far, if existing, else a(n)=9*a(n-1).

Also: a(1)=1, a(n)=a(n-1)-1, if a(n-1)-1>0 and has not been encountered so far, else a(n)=9*a(n-1).

A reordering of the natural numbers. The sequence is self-inverse, in that a(a(n))=n.

FORMULA

G.f.: g(x)=(x(1-2x)/(1-x)+9x^2*f'(x^(17/8))+(17/81)*(f'(x^(1/8))-9x-1)/(1-x) where f(x)=sum{k>=0, x^(9^k)} and f'(z)=derivative of f(x) at x=z.

a(n)=(26*9^(r/2)-10)/8-n if both, r and s are even, else a(n)=(107*9^((s-1)/2)-10)/8-n, where r=ceiling(2*log_9((8n+9)/17)) and s=ceiling(2*log_9(8n+9)/8))-1.

a(n)=(9^floor(1+(k+1)/2)+17*9^floor(k/2)-10)/8-n, where k=r if r is odd, else k=s (with respect to r and s above; formally, k=((r+s)-(r-s)*(-1)^r)/2).
