COMMENTS
This sequence converts any number from various "Catalan Base number systems" (when represented as decimal numbers) back to the integer the numeral represents: e.g. we have a(A014418(n)) = n and a(A244159(n)) = n (except for the latter this is eventually broken by the shortcomings of the decimal representation used, while for the former it works for all n, because no digits larger than 3 will ever appear in the terms of A014418).
A197433 is similar, but replaces 2^k with A000108(k+1) in binary expansion of n.
For 1- and 2-digit numbers the same as A156230. - R. J. Mathar, Jun 27 2014
