%N For any number k >= 0, let T_k be the triangle whose base corresponds to the ternary expansion of k (without leading zeros) and other values, say t above u and v, satisfy t = (-u-v) mod 3; this sequence lists the numbers k such that T_k has 3-fold rotational symmetry.
%C We can devise a similar sequence for any fixed base b >= 2; the present sequence corresponds to b = 3, and A334556 corresponds to b = 2.
%C This sequence is infinite as it contains A048328.
%C If k belongs to the sequence, then A004488(k) and A030102(k) belong to the sequence.
%C Empirically, there are 2*3^floor((w-1)/3) positive terms with w ternary digits.
%C For any k, if t appears above u and v in T_k, then t + u + v = 0 (mod 3) and #{t, u, v} = 1 or 3 (the three values are either equal or all distinct); each value is uniquely determined by the two others in the same way: t = (-u-v) mod 3, u = (-t-v) mod 3, v = (-t-u) mod 3; this means that we can reconstruct T_k from any of its three sides.
%C If some row of T_k, say r, has w values and corresponds to the ternary expansion of m, then the row above r corresponds to the w-1 rightmost digits of the ternary expansion of A060587(m).
%C All positive terms belong to A297250 (their most significant digit equals their least significant digit in base 3).

%e The ternary expansion of 304 is "102021", and the corresponding triangle is:
%e 1
%e 0 2
%e 2 1 0
%e 0 1 1 2
%e 2 1 1 1 0
%e 1 0 2 0 2 1
%e As this triangle has 3-fold rotational symmetry, 304 belongs to the sequence.
