A069214 Let u(n,k) be the recursion defined by u(n,1)=1 u(n,2)=2 u(n,3)=n and u(n,k+3)=(u(n,k+2)+u(n,k+1))/u(n,k) if u(n,k) divides u(n,k+2)+u(n,k+1) u(n,k+3)=u(n,k) otherwise. Then u(n,k) is periodic and a(n)=Max(u(n,k) k=1,2,3,4.....). 0

COMMENTS

Let p(n) denotes the length of the period of u(n,k) (i.e. the smallest integer such that u(n,k)=u(n,k+p(n))) p(n)=22,12,22,21,15,9,15,9,15,9....(n=1,2,3,4,5,6...) Hence for n>4 p(n)=15 if n is odd p(n)=9 if n is even.

FORMULA

a(1)=5 a(2n)=2n+2 a(2n+1)=3n+2 Ex : for k=1 to 15 u(7, k)=1, 2, 7, 9, 8, 7, 9, 2, 7, 1, 4, 7, 11, 4, 7 hence a(7)=11.
