COMMENT

A cube-free word. Start with 1, apply the morphisms 1 -> 121, 2 -> 122, take limit. See A080846 for another version.

Ultimate modulo 3: n-th digit of terms in "Ana sequence" (see A060032 for definition).

Equals A005148(n) reduced mod 3. In "On a sequence Arising in Series for Pi" Morris Newman and Daniel Shanks conjectured that 3 never divides A005148(n) and D. Zagier proved it. - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Jun 22 2002

Also equals A038502(n) mod 3.

Last nonzero digit in ternary representation of n. - Frank Adams-Watters (FrankTAW(AT)Netscape.net), Apr 01 2006

EXAMPLE

a(10)=1 since 10=3^0*10 and 10 mod 3=1; a(72)=2 since 24=3^3*8 and 8 mod 3=2.

MATHEMATICA

Nest[ Flatten[ # /. {1 -> {1, 2, 1}, 2 -> {1, 2, 2}}] &, {1}, 5] (from Robert G. Wilson v Mar 04 2005)

PROGRAM

(PARI) a(n)=if(n<1, 0, n/3^valuation(n, 3)%3) /* Michael Somos Nov 10 2005 */

CROSSREFS

Cf. A026140 and A026225 for sequence of n's for which a(n)=1, A026179 for sequence of n's for which a(n)=2. k-th term of A060032 is concatenation of first 3^k terms of a(n).
