To obtain a(n), we interpret A024629(n) as a base 3 representation (instead of base 3/2). More precisely, if A024629(n) = A007089(m), then a(n) = m.
The digits used in fractional base 3/2 are 0, 1, and 2, which are the same as the digits used in base 3.

Examples

			The base 3/2 representation of 7 is (2,1,1); i.e., 7 = 2*(3/2)^2 + 1*(3/2) + 1. Since 2*(3^2) + 1*3 + 1*1 = 22, we have a(7) = 22.

Formula

For n = Sum_{i=0..m} c_i*(3/2)^i with each c_i in {0,1,2}, a(n) = Sum_{i=0..m} c_i*3^i.
From Rémy Sigrist, Apr 06 2021: (Start)
Apparently:
- a(3*n) = a(3*n-1) + A003462(1+A087088(n)) for any n > 0,
- a(3*n+1) = a(3*n) + 1 for any n >= 0,
- a(3*n+2) = a(3*n+1) + 1 for any n >= 0,
