Consider g = A008585 = multiply by 3, and its left inverse h = A002264, h o g = id (but g o h = id only on (the range of) A008585). In the spirit of group theory, we can write ad(g) = (x -> h o x o g), then A343638 = ad(A008585)(A007953) and this A343639 = ad(A008585)(A343638) = ad(A008585)^2 (A007953).

Formula

a(n) = A007953(A008591(n))/9, by definition. - Felix Fröhlich, May 19 2021

a(n) = A343638(3*n)/3 = A002264(A343638(A008585(n))), i.e., A343639 = A002264 o A343638 o A008585 (just as A343638 = A002264 o A007953 o A008585).
