Create a binary tree starting with x. To follow 0 from the root, apply f(x)=2x. To follow 1, apply g(x)=(2x-1)/3. For example, starting with x, the string 010 {also known as f(g(f(x)))}, you would get (8x-2)/3. These expressions represent the reverse Collatz function and will provide numbers whose Collatz path may include x. These expressions will all be of the form (2^a*x-b)/3^c. This sequence concerns b. What makes b interesting is that if you draw the tree, each level of the tree will have the same sequence of values for b. The root of the tree x, can be written as (2^0*x-0)/3^0, which has the first value for b. Each subsequent level contains twice as many values of b.
This sequence is 0 followed by a permutation of A213539, and therefore consists of 0 plus the elements of A116640 multiplied by 2^k, where k >= 0. E.g., 1, 5, 7, 19 becomes 0, 2^0*1, 2^1*1, 2^0*5, 2^2*1, 2^0*7, 2^1*5, 2^0*19, ... - Joe Slater, Dec 19 2016
When this sequence is arranged as an irregular triangle the sum of each row a(2^k)...a(2^(k+1)-1) equals A081039(2^k). The cumulative sum from a(0) to a(2^k-1) equals A002697(k). - Joe Slater, Apr 12 2018

FORMULA

a(0) = 0, a(2*n + 1) = 2*a(n) + 3^wt(n) = 2*a(n) + A048883(n), a(2*n) = 2*a(n), where wt(n) = A000120(n) = the number 1's in the binary representation of n.
a(k) = [z^k] 1 + (1/(1-z)) * Sum_{s=0..n-1} 2^s*z^(2^s)*(1 - z^(2^s)) * Product_{r=s+1..n-1} (1 + 3*z^(2^r)), for 0 < k <= 2^n-1. - Wolfgang Hintze, Jul 28 2017
a(n) = Sum_{i=0..k} 2^e[i] * 3^i where binary expansion n = 2^e[0] + 2^e[1] + ... + 2^e[k] with descending e[0] > e[1] > ... > e[k] (A272011). [Martín Chabrera lemma 6.1, adapting index i] - Kevin Ryde, Oct 22 2021

EXAMPLE
|
a(1) = 1 = 2 * 0 + 3^0 since 0 written in binary contains no 1's.

a:= proc(n) `if`(n=0, 0, `if`(irem(n, 2, 'r')=0, 0,
