Comments

Also, nonnegative m congruent to 0, 1, 3, 6 or 8 (mod 9). The product of any two terms belongs to the sequence and so also a(n)^2, a(n)^3, a(n)^4, etc.

Integers x >= 0 satisfying k*floor(x^2/9) = floor(k*x^2/9) with k >= 0:

k = 0, 1: x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, ... (A001477);

k = 2: x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, ... (A060464);

k = 3..8: x = 0, 1, 3, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 17, 18, ... (this sequence);

k > 8: x = 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, ... (A008585).

Primes in sequence: 3, 17, 19, 37, 53, 71, 73, 89, 107, 109, 127, ...
