Comments

For the definition of 'g-dic value of 1/n' see a comment on A244416. In the Mahler reference, p. 7, the present exponent of 6 is there called f = f(1/n) for g = 6.

Formula

a(n) = 0 if n is congruent 1 or 5 (mod 6). a(n) = max(A007814(n), A007949(n)) if n == 0 (mod 6). a(n) = A007814(n) if n == 2 or 4 (mod 6) and a(n) = A007949(n) if n == 3 (mod 6).

a(n) = max(A007814(n), A007949(n)), in all cases. - Antti Karttunen, Dec 04 2018

From Amiram Eldar, Aug 19 2024: (Start)

a(n) = A051903(A065331(n)).

Asymptotic mean: Limit_{m->oo} (1/m) * Sum_{k=1..m} a(k) = 13/10. (End)
