COMMENT

The base 3 representation of these numbers is 222...222 or 122...222.
Smallest number with ternary digit sum = n: A053735(a(n)) = n and A053735(m) <> n for m < a(n). - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)lhsystems.com), Sep 15 2006
A138002(a(n)) = 0. - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Feb 26 2008
The initial terms suggest that this sequence is the same as A112346. Is that a coincidence or a theorem? - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Mar 07 2008

FORMULA

These are the numbers of the form 3^m - 1 or 2*3^m - 1 i.e. the union of sequences A048473 and A024023.
a(n)=3^(n/2)-1 if n is even; a(n)=2*3^(n/2-1/2)-1 if n is odd. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Feb 03 2005
a(n)=a(n-1)+3a(n-2)-3a(n-3). Differences: A108411. - Paul Curtz (bpcrtz(AT)free.fr), Feb 21 2008
