COMMENTS

Weight of n means count of nonzero digits of n. [From Daniel Forgues (squid(AT)zensearch.com), Mar 24 2010]

a(n) = A134022(n) + A134024(n) = A134021(n) - A134023(n).

FORMULA

a(3n)=a(n), a(3n+1)=a(n)+1, a(9n+2)=a(n)+2, a(9n+5)=a(3n+2)+1, a(9n+8)=a(3n+2).

a(n) = sum{k>0, floor(|2*sin(n*pi/3^k)|)} - T. Suzuki (suzuki(AT)scio.co.jp), Sep 10 2006

MATHEMATICA

a[n_] := With[{q=Round[n/3]}, Abs[n-3q]+a[q]]; a[0]=0; Table[a[n], {n, 0, 105}](* From Jean-François Alcover, Nov 25 2011, after Pari *)

(Lisp) (defun btw (n) (if (= n 0) 0 (multiple-value-bind (q r) (round n 3) (+ (abs r) (btw q)))))

(PARI) a(n)=local(q); if(n<=0, 0, q=round(n/3); abs(n-3*q)+a(q))
