1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 45, 47, 49, 51, 53, 55, 57, 59, 61, 63, 65, 68, 70, 72, 74, 76, 78, 80, 82, 84, 86, 89, 91, 93, 95, 97, 99, 101, 103, 105, 107, 109, 112, 114, 116, 118, 120, 122, 124, 126, 128, 130, 133, 135 (list; graph; refs; listen; history; internal format)
OFFSET

0,2

FORMULA

a(n)=1+Floor(n/Log_10(3)) = 1+A054965(n).

EXAMPLE

For n=1 a(1)=3 since the sequence of powers of 3 is 1, 3, 9, 27, 81, 243, 729 and numbers of digits increase at position 1,3,5,...

MATHEMATICA

a[x_] := 1 + Floor[x/Log[10, 3]] Table[a[i], {i, 0, 20}]
