COMMENTS

WARNING: The offset of this sequence has been changed from 0 to 1 without correcting the formulas and programs, many of them correspond to the original indexing a(0)=0, a(1)=1, ... - M. F. Hasler, Oct 06 2014
Numbers n such that no entry in n-th row of Pascal's triangle is divisible by 3, i.e., such that A062296(n) = 0.
The base 3 representation of these numbers is 222...222 or 122...222.
a(n+1) is also the Moore lower bound on the order of a (4,g)-cage. - Jason Kimberley, Oct 30 2011

FORMULA

a(n) = 2*3^(n/2-1)-1 if n is even; a(n) = 3^(n/2-1/2)-1 if n is odd. - Emeric Deutsch, Feb 03 2005, offset updated.
a(n) = a(n-1) + 3*a(n-2) - 3*a(n-3).
G.f.: x^2*(1+x)/((1-x)*(1-3*x^2)). - Colin Barker, Apr 02 2012
a(2n+1) = 3*a(2n-1) + 2; a(2n) = ( a(2n-1) + a(2n+1) )/2. See A060647 for case where a(1)= 1. - Richard R. Forberg, Nov 30 2013
a(n) = 2^((1+(-1)^n)/2) * 3^((2*n-3-(-1)^n)/4) - 1. - Luce ETIENNE, Aug 29 2014
E.g.f.: (1 - 3*cosh(x) + 2*cosh(sqrt(3)*x) - 3*sinh(x) + sqrt(3)*sinh(sqrt(3)*x))/3. - Stefano Spezia, Apr 06 2022
a(n) = (1/3)*([n=0] - 3 + (1+(-1)^n)*3^(n/2) + ((1-(-1)^n)/2)*3^((n+1)/2)). - G. C. Greubel, Apr 17 2023

EXAMPLE

The first rows in Pascal's triangle with no multiples of 3 are:
row 0: 1;
row 1: 1, 1;
row 2: 1, 2, 1;
row 5: 1, 5, 10, 10, 5, 1;
row 8: 1, 8, 28, 56, 70, 56, 28, 8, 1;
