If the base-4 expansion of n starts with the digit 1, then replace 2's by 3's and vice versa; if it starts with the digit 2, then replace 1's by 3's and vice versa; if it starts with the digit 3, then replace 1's by 2's and vice versa; a(0) = 0.

COMMENTS
This sequence is a self-inverse permutation of the nonnegative integers.
FORMULA
a(n) = A163241(n) when A122587(n) = 1.
a(n) = A048647(n) when A122587(n) = 2.
a(n) = A057300(n) when A122587(n) = 3.
a(n) = n iff n = d * A000695(k) for some d in {1, 2, 3} and some k >= 0.
EXAMPLE
For n = 539:
- the base-4 expansion of 539 is "20123",
- it starts with the digit 2, so we replace 1's by 3's and vice versa,
- so the base-4 expansion of a(539) is "20321", and a(539) = 569.
PROG
(PARI) a(n) = { my (q = digits(n, 4), m = if (#q, [ [0, 1, 3, 2], [0, 3, 2, 1], [0, 2, 1, 3] ][q[1]], [0, 1, 2, 3])); fromdigits(apply (d -> m[1+d], q), 4); }
