%F From _Antti Karttunen_, Jul 27 2017: (Start)

%F a(n) = (3^k + 1)*2^(y-1), where y = A062756(n) and k = A081603(n). [See e.g. Wells or Wilson references.]

%F a(n) = A006047(n) - A227428(n).

%F (End)

%F From _David A. Corneth_ and _Antti Karttunen_, Jul 27 2017: (Start)

%F Based on the first formula above, we have following identities:

%F a(3n) = a(n).

%F a(3n+1) = 2*a(n).

%F a(9n+4) = 4*a(n).

%F (End)

%F a(n) = (1/2)*Sum_{k = 0..n} mod(C(n,k) + C(n,k)^2, 3). - _Peter Bala_, Dec 17 2020

%e Example: Rows 0-8 of Pascal's Triangle (mod 3) are:

%e 1 So a(0) = 1

%e 1 1 So a(1) = 2

%e 1 2 1 So a(2) = 2

%e 1 0 0 1 .

%e 1 1 0 1 1 .

%e 1 2 1 1 2 1 .

%e 1 0 0 2 0 0 1

%e 1 1 0 2 2 0 1 1

%e 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1
