COMMENTS
A Lamé sequence of higher order.
a(n) = number of compositions of n in which each part is >=8. - Milan Janjic, Jun 28 2010
a(n+8) equals the number of n-length binary words such that 0 appears only in a run which length is a multiple of 8. - Milan Janjic, Feb 17 2015

FORMULA
G.f.: (x-1)/(x-1+x^8). - Alois P. Heinz, Aug 04 2008
For positive integers n and k such that k <= n <= 8*k, and 7 divides n-k, define c(n,k) = binomial(k,(n-k)/7), and c(n,k) = 0, otherwise. Then, for n>=1, a(n+8) = sum(c(n,k), k=1..n). - Milan Janjic, Dec 09 2011
a(n) = A005710(n)-A005710(n-1). - R. J. Mathar, Sep 07 2016
