COMMENTS
| The Collatz (or 3x+1) function is f(x) = x/2 if x is even, 3x+1 if x is odd.
The Collatz trajectory of n is obtained by applying f repeatedly to n until 1 is reached.
Sequence is 2-automatic.
A078719(a(n)) = 4; A006667(a(n)) = 3.

FORMULA
| The twelve formulas giving this sequence are listed in Corollary 3.3 in J. R. Goodwin with the following caveats: the value x cannot equal zero in formulas (3.16) and (3.20), one must multiply the formulas by all powers of 2 (2^1, 2^2, ...) to get the evens. - Jeffrey R. Goodwin, Oct 26 2011

EXAMPLE
| The Collatz trajectory of 17 is (17, 52, 26, 13, 40, 20, 10, 5, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1), which contains 4 odd integers. - Jeffrey R. Goodwin, Oct 26 2011
