Consequently, it is conjectured that this sequence will have lim_{n->oo} a(n)/n = 1/16. %C A355406 Among the numbers from 1 to 1000, there are 10 that are powers of 2, and there are 932 others (excluding 16) whose Collatz trajectories contain 2^4 as their maximum power of 2. The remaining 58 numbers are the first 58 terms of {a(n)}. %C A355406 If k is in this sequence then so is k*2^j for any j > 0. To find a "primitive" set simply eliminate the even terms (see A350160). %H A355406 Frank M Jackson, <a href="/A355406/b355406.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000</a> %H A355406 <a href="/index/3#3x1">Index entries for sequences related to 3x+1 (or Collatz) problem</a> %e A355406 21 is a term since its trajectory 21 64 32 16 8 2 1 has 64 as the highest power of 2, which is more than 16 and 21 is not itself a power of 2. %t A355406 collatz[n_] := Module[{}, If[OddQ[n], 3n+1, n/2]]; step[n_] := Module[{p=0, m=n, q}, While[!IntegerQ[q=Log[2, m]], m=collatz[m]; p++]; {p, q, n}]; Last/@Select[Table[step[n], {n, 1, 10^5}], #[[1]]>0 && #[[2]]!=4 &] %Y A355406 Cf.
