3 does not divide binomial(2s, s) if and only if s is a member of this sequence, where binomial(2s, s) = A000984(s) are the central binomial coefficients.
This is the lexicographically earliest increasing sequence of nonnegative numbers that contains no arithmetic progression of length 3. - Robert Craigen (craigenr(AT)cc.umanitoba.ca), Jan 29 2001
In the notation of A185256 this is the Stanley Sequence S(0,1). - N. J. A. Sloane, Mar 19 2010
Complement of A074940. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Mar 23 2003
Sums of distinct powers of 3. - Ralf Stephan, Apr 27 2003
Numbers n such that central trinomial coefficient A002426(n) == 1 (mod 3). - Emeric Deutsch and Bruce E. Sagan, Dec 04 2003
A039966(a(n)+1) = 1; A104406(n) = number of terms <= n.

Fixed point of the morphism: 0 -> 01; 1 -> 34; 2 -> 67; ...; n -> (3n)(3n+1), starting from a(1) = 0. - Philippe Deléham, Oct 22 2011
It appears that this sequence lists the values of n which satisfy the condition sum(binomial(n, k)^(2*j), k = 0..n) mod 3 <> 0, for any j, with offset 0. See Maple code. - Gary Detlefs, Nov 28 2011
Also, it follows from the above comment by Philippe Lallouet that the sequence must be generated by the rules: a(1) = 0, and if m is in the sequence then so are 3*m and 3*m + 1. - L. Edson Jeffery, Nov 20 2015
Add 1 to each term and we get A003278. - N. J. A. Sloane, Dec 01 2019

The first 2^n terms of the sequence could be obtained using the Cantor-like process for the segment [0, 4^n-1]. E.g., for n=1 we have [0, {1, 2}, 3] such that numbers outside of braces are the first 2 terms of the sequence; for n=2 we have [0, {1, 2}, 3, {4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11}, 12, {13, 14}, 15] such that the numbers outside of braces are the first 4 terms of the sequence, etc. - Vladimir Shevelev, Dec 17 2012
From Emeric Deutsch, Jan 26 2018: (Start)
Also, the indices of the compositions having only even parts. For the definition of the index of a composition, see A298644. For example, 195 is in the sequence since its binary form is 11000011 and the composition [2,4,2] has only even parts. 132 is not in the sequence since its binary form is 10000100 and the composition [1,4,1,2] also has odd parts.
The command c(n) from the Maple program yields the composition having index n. (End)
After the k-th step of generating the Koch snowflake curve, label the edges of the curve consecutively 0..3*4^k-1 starting from a vertex of the originating triangle. a(0), a(1), ... a(2^k-1) are the labels of the edges contained in one edge of the originating triangle. Add 4^k to each label to get the labels for the next edge of the triangle. Compare with A191108 in respect of the Sierpinski arrowhead curve. - Peter Munn, Aug 18 2019

For k >= 1, m = a(i), 1 <= i <= 2^k seems to be m such that m/(3^k+1) is in the Cantor set (except that m = 0 and m = 3^k+1 do not appear). For k >= 2,  m = (a(i)-1)/2, 1 <= i <= 2^k seems to be m such that m/((3^k-1)/2) is in the Cantor set. - Peter Munn, Jul 06 2019
Every even number is the sum of two (possibly equal) terms. More specifically: terms a(1) through a(2^n) = 3^n sum to even numbers 2 times 1 through 3^n. Every even number is infinitely often the difference of two terms. Since the sequence is equal to 2*A005836(n) + 1, these properties follow immediately from similar properties of A005836 for every number. - Aad Thoen, Feb 17 2022

Let C be the Cantor numbers (A005823), and let A be the set of integers congruent to 1 (mod 3) representable as the quotient of two nonzero elements of C (A339637). It is easy to see that if (3/2)*3^i < n < 2*3^i for some i, then n cannot be in A. Initial empirical data suggested that these are the only integers congruent to 1 (mod 3) not in A. However, there are "sporadic" counterexamples enumerated by this sequence entry, whose structure is not well understood.
A simple automaton-based (or breadth-first search) algorithm can establish in O(n) time whether n is in A or not.
Conjecture: every number of the form 23*3^(4k+3) - 20 is not representable.
