A353653 Unique monotonic sequence of positive integers satisfying a(a(n)) = k*(n-1) + 3, where k = 6. 3

%N Unique monotonic sequence of positive integers satisfying a(a(n)) = k*(n-1) + 3, where k = 6.

%C Numbers m such that the base-6 representation of (5*m-3) starts with 11 or 12 or 13 or 14 or 15 or ends with 0.

%C First differences give a run of 6^i 1's followed by a run of 6^i 6's, for i >= 0.

%F For n in the range (2*6^i + 3)/5 <= n < (7*6^i + 3)/5, for i >= 0:

%F a(n) = n + 6^i.

%F a(n+1) = 1 + a(n).

%F Otherwise, for n in the range (7*6^i + 3)/5 <= n < (12*6^i + 3)/5, for i >= 0:

%F a(n) = 6*(n - 6^i) - 3.

%F a(n+1) = 6 + a(n).

%e a(5) = 11 because (2*6^1 + 3)/3 <= 5 < (7*6^1 + 3)/5, hence a(5) = 5 + 6^1 = 11;

%e a(10) = 21 because (7*6^1 + 3)/5 <= 10 < (12*6^1 + 3)/5, hence a(10) = 6*(10 - 6^1) - 3 = 21.
