Table of n, a(n) for n=0..67.

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (1,0,1,-1,0,0,0,0,-1,1,0,1,-1,0,0,0,0,-1,1,0,1,-1).

Formula

Tersum m + n: write m and n in base 3 and add mod 3 with no carries; e.g., 5 + 8 = "21" + "22" = "10" = 1.

a(n) = A004489(n, 11). - Michel Marcus, Nov 09 2021

G.f.: (20*x^21+x^20-2*x^19-16*x^18-7*x^12+x^11-2*x^10+11*x^9-7*x^3+x^2-2*x+11) / ((x^2+x+1)*(x^18+x^9+1)*(x-1)^2). - Alois P. Heinz, Nov 09 2021
