COMMENTS

Or, possible peak values in 3x+1 trajectories: 1,2 and n=16k+4,16k+8,16k but not for all k; those 4k numbers [like n=16k+12 and others] which cannot be such peaks are listed in A087252.

A008908(a(n)) = A159999(a(n)). [From Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), May 04 2009]

EXAMPLE

These peak values occur in 1, 3, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 21, 22, 27, 30, 39, 44, 71, 75, 1579 [3x+1]-iteration trajectories started with different initial values. This list most probably is incomplete.
