If n is written in base-3 as n=d(m)d(m-1)d(m-2)...d(2)d(1)d(0) (where d(k) is the digit at position k) then a(n) is also the product (1+d(m)d(m-1)d(m-2)...d(2)d(1)d(0))*(1+d(m)d(m-1)d(m-2)...d(2)d(1))*(1+d(m)d(m-1)d(m-2)...d(2))*...*(1+d(m)d(m-1)d(m-2))*(1+d(m)d(m-1))*(1+d(m)).
FORMULA
Recurrence: a(n)=(1+n)*a(floor(n/3)); a(3n)=(1+3n)*a(n); a(n*3^m)=product{1<=k<=m, 1+n*3^k}*a(n).
a(k*3^m-j)=(k*3^m-j+1)*3^m*p^(m(m-1)/2), for 0<k<3, 0<j<3, m>=1, a(3^m)=3^(m(m+1)/2)*product{0<=k<=m, 1+1/3^k}, m>=1.
a(n)=A132328(3*n)=(1+n)*A132328(n).
Asymptotic behavior: a(n)=O(n^((1+log_3(n))/2)); this follows from the inequalities below.
a(n)<=A132027(n)*product{0<=k<=floor(log_3(n)), 1+1/3^k}.
a(n)>=A132027(n)/product{1<=k<=floor(log_3(n)), 1-1/3^k}.
a(n)<c*n^((1+log_3(n))/2)=c*3^A000217(log_3(n)), where c=product{k>=0, 1+1/p^k}=3.12986803713402307587769821345767... (see constant A132323).
a(n)>n^((1+log_3(n))/2)=3^A000217(log_3(n)).
lim sup a(n)/A132027(n)=2*product{k>0, 1+1/3^k}=3.12986803713402307587769821345767..., for n-->oo (see constant A132323).
lim inf a(n)/A132027(n)=1/product{k>0, 1-1/3^k}=1/0.560126077927948944969792243314140014..., for n-->oo (see constant A100220).
lim inf a(n)/n^((1+log_3(n))/2)=1, for n-->oo.
lim sup a(n)/n^((1+log_3(n))/2)=2*product{k>0, 1+1/3^k}=3.12986803713402307587769821345767..., for n-->oo (see constant A132323).
lim inf a(n+1)/a(n)=2*product{k>0, 1+1/3^k}=3.12986803713402307587769821345767... for n-->oo (see constant A132323).
EXAMPLE
a(12)=(1+floor(12/3^0))*(1+floor(12/3^1))*(1+floor(12/3^2))=13*5*2=130; a(20)=441 since 20=202(base-3) and so
a(20)=(1+202)*(1+20)*(1+2)(base-3)=21*7*3=441.
