%N Express n in balanced ternary, then reverse the digits, leaving any trailing zeros alone.

%C 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.

%F a(n) = A134028(n)*3^A007949(n). [_Franklin T. Adams-Watters_, May 24 2009]

%e 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.
