%N a(n) is the numbers of ways to write 2*n = u + v where the ternary representations of u and of v have the same number of digits d for d = 0..2.

%C In other words, a(n) is the number of ways to write 2*n as the sum of two ternary anagrams.

%C Leading zeros are ignored.

%C Two ternary anagrams have necessarily the same parity, hence an odd number cannot be the sum of two ternary anagrams.

%e For n = 6:

%e - we can write 12 as u + v in the following ways:

%e u v ter(u) ter(v)

%e - - ------ ------

%e 5 7 12 21

%e 6 6 20 20

%e 7 5 21 12

%e - hence a(6) = 3.
