Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%F a(0) = 0, a(n) = (n mod 3) + 3*a(floor(n/9)).
%F a(n) = Sum_{k>=0} {A030341(n,k)*b(k)} where b is the sequence (1,0,3,0,9,0,27,0,81,0,243,0... = A254006): powers of 3 alternating with zeros. - _Philippe Deléham_, Oct 22 2011
%F A037314(a(n)) + 3*A037314(A163326(n)) = n for all n.
%e 11 in ternary base (A007089) is written as '102' (1*9 + 0*3 + 2), from which we pick the "zeroth" and 2nd digits from the right, giving '12' = 1*3 + 2 = 5, thus a(11) = 5.
%o (PARI) a(n) = fromdigits(digits(n,9)%3,3); \\ _Kevin Ryde_, May 14 2020
%Y A059905 is an analogous sequence for binary.
%Y Cf. A007089, A163327, A163328, A163329.
