FORMULA
G.f.: 1/( 1 - sum(k>=0, x^(3^k) ) ). [Joerg Arndt, Oct 21 2012]
G.f. satisfies A(x) = A(x^3)/(1 - x*A(x^3)), A(0) = 1.
Sum(k>=0, a(2k+1)*x^k) / sum(k>=0, a(2k)*x^k) = sum(k>=0, x^((3^n-1)/2)) = (1 +2x +4x^2 +9x^3 +20x^4 +...)/(1 +x +3x^2 +6x^3 +13x^4 +...) = (1 +x +x^4 +x^13 +x^40 +x^121 +...).
a(n) ~ c * d^n, where d=1.4908903146089481048158292585129929112464706408636716058683929302099..., c=0.5482795768884593030933437319550701222657139895191578491936872735719... - Vaclav Kotesovec, May 01 2014
EXAMPLE
A(x) = A(x^3) + x*A(x^3)^2 + x^2*A(x^3)^3 + x^3*A(x^3)^4 + ... = 1 +x + x^2 +2x^3 +3x^4 +4x^5 +6x^6 +9x^7 + 13x^8 +...
MAPLE
a:= proc(n) option remember;
`if`(n=0, 1, add(a(n-3^i), i=0..ilog[3](n)))
end:
seq(a(n), n=0..50); # Alois P. Heinz, Jan 11 2014
MATHEMATICA
a[n_] := a[n] = If[n == 0, 1, Sum[a[n-3^i], {i, 0, Log[3, n]}]]; Table[a[n], {n, 0, 50}] (* Jean-François Alcover, Mar 23 2015, after Alois P. Heinz *)
PROG
(PARI) a(n)=local(A, m); if(n<1, n==0, m=1; A=1+O(x); while(m<=n, m*=3; A=1/(1/subst(A, x, x^3)-x)); polcoeff(A, n))
