COMMENTS

From Collatz conjecture, the trajectory of n never reaches n again. Is this sequence finite?

EXAMPLE

Trajectory of 39 is : (118,59,178,89,268,134,67,202,101,304,152,76,38,19,58,29,88,44,22,11,34,17,52,26,13,40,20,10,5,16,8,4,2,1) and 39-1=38 is reached, hence 39 is in the sequence.

PROG

(PARI) for(n=1, 10000, s=n; t=0; while(s!=1, t++; if(s%2==0, s=s/2, s=3*s+1); if(s==n-1, print1(n, ", "); ); ))
