%N Minimum sum of digits for any number of length n digits in fractional base 4/3.

%C 0 is taken to be 1 digit long so a(1) = 0.

%C Terms can be derived from A364779 by a(n) = s for the smallest s where k = A364779(s) is >= n digits long (noting that stripping trailing 0's from k suffices to show numbers with sum of digits s exist at each length down to where sum s-1 exists).

%F a(n) = Min_{4*A087192(n-1) <= k < 4*A087192(n)} A244041(k), for n >= 2.

%Y Cf. A024631 (base 4/3), A244041 (sum of digits), A364779 (largest with sum).

%Y Cf. A363758 (maximum sum).
