COMMENTS

This sequence, together with its negative extension a(-n) = -a(n) is a self-inverse permutation of the integers. The absolute values are a self-inverse permutation of the nonnegative integers.

FORMULA

a(n)=A134028(n)*3^A007949(n). [From Franklin T. Adams-Watters (FrankTAW(AT)Netscape.net), May 24 2009]

EXAMPLE

87 in balanced ternary is 101(-1)0; leaving the final 0 and reversing the remaining digits gives (-1)1010, which is -51; so a(87) = -51.

PROG

(PARI) a(n)=local(r, dr, q); if(n==0, 0, r=0; dr=1; while(n%3==0, dr*=3; n\=3); while(n!=0, q=(n+1)\3; r=3*r+dr*(n-3*q); n=q); r) [From Franklin T. Adams-Watters (FrankTAW(AT)Netscape.net), May 24 2009]
