The integers [0,(3^k)-1] are confined to range [0,(3^k)-1].
From Kevin Ryde, Sep 04 2020: (Start)
To calculate a(n), write n in ternary digits n[k],..,n[0], where n[0] is the least significant digit. Then the ternary digits of a(n) are a[j] = k^{n[j+1]+n[j+3]+...}(n[j]) where Peano's complement operator k^{s}(d) = d if s even or 2-d if s odd.
A single complement is k(d) = 2-d and the "exponent" is repeats k(k(k(...))). Sum s = n[j+1] + n[j+3] + ... is every second digit above j, so digit j flips 0 <-> 2 when an odd number of odd digits (1's) among these. The complement does not change digit parity so a second transformation re-complements back to the original digits and so self-inverse a(a(n)) = n.
Peano's curve is formed by digits of a(n) put alternately to x and y coordinates, so a(n) maps between the Peano curve the ternary Z-order curve per the formulas in A163528, A163529.
