COMMENTS

These are the integers N which on application of the Collatz function yield the number 17. The Collatz function: if N is an odd number then (3N+1)/2^r yields a positive odd integer for some value of r (which in this case is 17).
Numbers whose binary representation is 1011 together with n - 1 times 01. For example, a(4) = 725 = 1011010101 (2). - Omar E. Pol, Nov 24 2012

FORMULA
|
G.f.: x*(11-10*x)/(1-5*x+4*x^2).
a(n) = (17*2^(2*n-1) - 1)/3.
Sum_{i=1..n} a(i) = (a(n+1) - n + 1)/3 - 4. (End)
E.g.f.: (-15 - 2*exp(x) + 17*exp(4*x))/6. - G. C. Greubel, Jan 14 2020
