A198682 Nonnegative multiples of 3 whose sum of base-3 digits are of the form 3*k+2. 3

It appears that Sum[k^j, 0<=k<=2^n-1, k in A198680] = Sum[k^j, 0<=k<=2^n-1, k in A198681] = Sum[k^j, 0<=k<=2^n-1, k in A180682], for 0<=j<=n-1, which has been verified numerically in a number of cases. This is a generalization of Prouhet's Theorem (see the reference). To illustrate for j=3, we have Sum[k^3, 0<=k<=2^n-1, k in A198680] = {0, 0, 12636, 1108809, 94478400, 7780827681, 633724260624, 51425722195929, 4168024588857600,...}, Sum[k^3, 0<=k<=2^n-1, k in A198681] = {0, 27, 14580, 1095687, 94478400, 7780827681, 633724260624, 51425722195929, 4168024588857600,..., Sum[k^3, 0<=k<=2^n-1, k in A198682] = {0, 216, 7776, 1121931, 94478400, 7780827681, 633724260624, 51425722195929, 4168024588857600,...}, and it is seen that all three sums agree for n>=4=j+1.
For each m, the sequence contains exactly one of 9*m, 9*m+3, 9*m+6. - Robert Israel, Mar 04 2016
