Similar to A005151 but uses base 3: Let a(1)=1. Describing a(1) as "one 1" again gives a(2)=11 (same digit string as A005151 and similar sequences). Likewise, a(3) and a(4) have same digit strings as all but the binary sequence, but describing a(4) as "three 1's, one 2" gives a(5)=10112 when the frequency of digit occurrence is written in ternary and followed by the digit counted.

			Summarizing a(8) = 1011122 in increasing digit order, there are "one 0, four 1's, two 2s", so concatenating 1 0 11 1 2 2 gives a(9) = 1011122 (=a(10)=a(11)=...).

Cf. A098153 (binary), A098155 (base 4), A005151 (decimal and digit strings for all other bases b >= 5).

a(n) = 1011122 for all n >= 8 (see example).

A098155 Summarize the previous term in base 4 (in increasing order).

Let a(1)=1. Describing a(1) as "one 1" again gives a(2)=11 (same digit string as A005151 and similar sequences). Likewise, a(3) through a(8) have the same digit strings as the corresponding terms of A005151, but describing a(8) as "one 1, four 2s, one 3" gives a(9)=1110213 when the frequency of digit occurrence is written in base 4 and followed by the digit counted.

			Summarizing a(12) = 101112213 in increasing digit order, there are "one 0, five 1's, two 2s, one 3", so concatenating 1 0 11 1 2 2 1 3 gives a(13) = 101112213 (=a(14)=a(15)=...).
