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”).

%N Numbers with d distinct ternary digits (d=1,2,3) such that for each k=1,...,d, some digit occurs exactly k times.
%C For each of the terms, the number of ternary (= base 3) digits is a triangular number A000217.
%C The base 2 analog would have only the 5 terms 0,1,4,5,6. See A218556 for the base 10 analog.
%C The sequence A167819 is a subsequence containing exactly all terms >= 9.
%C The sequence is finite, with 255=3+12+240 (= 1 + sum of the 3rd row of A218566) terms.

%e The terms a(1)=0 through a(3)=2 have exactly 1 digit occurring exactly once.
%e The terms a(4)=9=100[3] through a(15)=25=221[3], have one ternary digit occurring once and a second, different digit occurring exactly twice.
%e The terms a(16)=248=100012[3] through a(255)=714=222110[3] contain each ternary digit at least once. There are no other terms in this sequence.
