COMMENTS
Corresponds to the only solution of the Diophantine equation 4^n = x*3^n + y*2^n + z*1^n with constraints 0 <= y < 3^n/2^n, 0 <= z < 2^n.
Binary order (cf. A029837) of a(n) is close to n.

FORMULA
a(n) = A064628(n) + floor(A064629(n)/2^n) + (A064629(n) mod 2^n) = floor(4^n/3^n) + floor((4^n mod 3^n)/2^n) + ((4^n mod 3^n) mod 2^n)
EXAMPLE
4^6 = 4096 = 729 + 729 + 729 + 729 + 729 + 64 + 64 + 64 + 64 + 64 + 64 + 64 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 5*3^6 + 7*2^6 + 3*1^6, so a(6) = 5 + 7 + 3 = 15.
