%N Expansion of Pi in balanced ternary.

%C The correspondence to A004602 (see Formula section) can be seen by comparing the leading terms of each sequence from right to left and adding a carry when A004602 is 2:

%C A004602: 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 2, 1, 1, 0, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 0, 1, 0, 2, 1, 1, 0, 0, 2, 1

%C a(n) : 1, 0, 0, 1, 1,-1, 1, 1, 1,-1, 0, 0, 0,-1, 0, 1, 1,-1, 1, 1, 0, 1,-1, 1

%F Calculation can be done from A004602:

%F Choose n so that A004602(n) does not equal 2

%F Initialize {f(n)} from A004602 up to index n

%F Let i loop from n down to 2

%F while f(i) is larger than 1

%F set f(i) to f(i) - 3

%F set f(i - 1) to f(i - 1) + 1

%F Set {a(n)} to {f(n)}
