%F If a(n-1) == 1 (mod 3) then a(n) = (4*a(n-1)-1)/3 or (16*a(n-1)-1)/3, whichever value is not divisible by 3.

%F If a(n-1) == -1 (mod 3) then a(n) = (2*a(n-1)-1)/3 or a(n)=(8*a(n-1)-1)/3, whichever value is not divisible by 3.

%e a(0)=1, a(1)=5 by definition, then a(2) = (2*5-1)/3 or (8*5-1)/3; as (2*5-1)/3 is divisible by 3, a(2) = (8*5-1)/3 = 13.
