COMMENTS

It seems that this sequence can be calculated by constructing an insertion tree in which the insertion rules depend on the "age" of a term at a particular stage of the calculation. See the link for a discussion of this concept.

FORMULA

G.f.=-1+product((1+x^(3^j)+x^(2*(3^j))+x^(3*(3^j))+x^(4*(3^j))), j=0..infinity). - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Apr 02 2006

EXAMPLE

a(12)=4 because 12=9+3=9+1+1+1=3+3+3+3=3+3+3+1+1+1.

MAPLE

g:=-1+product((1+x^(3^j)+x^(2*(3^j))+x^(3*(3^j))+x^(4*(3^j))), j=0..10): gser:=series(g, x=0, 106): seq(coeff(gser, x, n), n=1..103); - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Apr 02 2006
