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”).

COMMENTS
Every nonnegative integer appears exactly once.
EXAMPLE
The ternary integers are: 0, 1, 2, 10, 11, 12, 20, 21, 22, 100 and so on. The values of these numbers interpreted in base 3/2 are 0, 1, 2, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 3, 4, 5, 2.25 and so on. The values in ascending order are: 0, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.25, 2.5 and so on. Consider n=4. The corresponding ternary integer is 11 with the value 2.5. 2.5 is the fifth positive value on the list, thus a(4) = 5.
