Comments

This sequence, together with A350666 and A350667, gives a 3-set partition of the nonnegative integers.

This sequence {a(n)}_{n>=0} gives the indices of the row sequences of array A = A347834, that are modulo 6 periodic with period length 3, namely

{A347834(a(n), m) mod 6}_{m >= 0] = {repeat(3, 1, 5)}.

Formula

A159955(a(n)) = 2.

Trisection: a(3*k) = 2 + 9*k, a(3*k + 1) = 4 + 9*k, and a(3*k + 3) = 6 + 9*k, for k >= 0.

G.f.: (2 + 2*x + 2*x^2 + 3*x^3)/((1 - x)*(1 - x^3)).

a(n) = 1 + 3*n + cos(2*n*Pi/3) + sin(2*n*Pi/3)/sqrt(3). - Stefano Spezia, Jan 30 2022

a(n) = 1 + 3*n + S(2*n, 1) = 1+3*n+A057078(n), with the Chebyshev S polynomials from A049310, using the partial fraction decomposition of the g.f., or the previous formula.

Example

Rows of array {A347834(a(n), m)}_{m >= 0}, with modulo 6 congruence:
n = 0: row 2: {3, 13, 53, 213, 853, 3413, 13653, ...} mod 6 = {repeat{(3, 1, 5)},
n = 1: row 4: {9, 37, 149, 597, 2389, 9557, ...} (mod 6) = {repeat(3, 1, 5)},
...
