COMMENTS
Replace "3" with "x" and extend the definition of a to positive rationals and a becomes an isomorphism between positive rationals under multiplication and polynomials over Z under addition. This remark generalizes A001222, A048675 and A054841: evaluate said polynomial at x=1, x=2 and x=10, respectively.
For examples of such evaluations at x=3, see "Other identities" in the Formula section. - Antti Karttunen, Jul 31 2015

FORMULA
a(1) = 0; for n > 1, a(n) = 3^(A055396(n)-1) + a(A032742(n)). [Where A055396(n) gives the index of the smallest prime dividing n and A032742(n) gives the largest proper divisor of n.] - Antti Karttunen, Jul 29 2015
Other identities. For all n >= 0:
