%C a(n) = a(3n)/a(0) = a(3n+1)/a(1). a(n) mod 2 = A039966(n). Row sums of A117939.

%C Observation: if this is written as a triangle (see example) then at least the first five row sums coincide with A002001. - Omar E. Pol, Nov 28 2011

%e Contribution from Omar E. Pol, Nov 26 2011 (Start):

%e When written as a triangle this begins:
