COMMENTS
Two integers can be added without carries in balanced ternary if they have no equal nonzero digit at the same position.
This sequence is a permutation of the nonnegative integers with inverse A353650.
EXAMPLE
The first terms, in decimal and in balanced ternary, are:
n a(n) bter(a(n))
-- ---- ----------
0 0 0
1 1 1
2 2 1T
3 6 1T0
4 3 10
5 5 1TT
6 4 11
7 8 10T
8 15 1TT0
9 9 100
10 14 1TTT
11 10 101
12 17 1T0T
13 7 1T1
14 18 1T00
