COMMENTS

This sequence is infinite because it contains terms of the forms 729^k-1 (k>=0) and 729^k+1 (k>=0).

Let L_27 be the number of digits for a(n) represented in base 27.

If L_27 is odd, the digits are either in the set {0, 1, 2} or in {0, 4, 8} or in {0, 10_10, 20_10}.

If L_27 is even, the digits are either in the set {0, 13_10} or in {0, 26_10} or in {13_10, 26_10}.

Let L_3 be the length of a(n) if represented in base 3, then L_3 in {0,1,2,3} (mod 6).
