FORMULA

a(1) = 2, a(3n) = 3a(n), a(3n+1) = 3a(n)+2, a(3n-1) = 3a(n)+1.

EXAMPLE

-7 in balanced ternary is (-1)1(-1), changing to 212 ternary is 23, so a(7)=23.

CROSSREFS

Cf. A117966. a(n) = A004488(A117967(n)). Bisection of A140263. A140268 gives the same sequence in ternary.

Sequence in context: A158241 A156591 A138283 * A154200 A089417 A168205
