COMMENTS

22 is the smallest number whose base 2 trajectory (A061561) provably does not contain a palindrome. 77 is the next number (cf. A075252) with a completely different trajectory which has this property. A proof along the lines of Klaus Brockhaus, On the 'Reverse and Add!' algorithm in base 2, can be based on the formula given below.

lim_{n -> infinity} a(n)/a(n-1) = 2 for n mod 2 = 1.

lim_{n -> infinity} a(n)/a(n-1) = 1 for n mod 2 = 0.

FORMULA

a(0) = 77; a(1) = 166; a(2) = 267; for n > 2 and

n = 3 (mod 4): a(n) = 48*2^(2*k)-21*2^k where k = (n+5)/4;

n = 0 (mod 4): a(n) = 48*2^(2*k)+33*2^k-3 where k = (n+4)/4;

n = 1 (mod 4): a(n) = 96*2^(2*k)-30*2^k where k = (n+3)/4;

n = 2 (mod 4): a(n) = 96*2^(2*k)+6*2^k-3 where k = (n+2)/4.

G.f.: (77+166*x+36*x^2+186*x^3+96*x^4-636*x^5-672*x^6-348*x^7-44*x^8 +632*x^9+504*x^10) / ((1-x)*(1+x)*(1-2*x^2)*(1-2*x^4)).

G.f. for the sequence starting at a(3): 3*x^3*(228+299*x-212*x^2 -378*x^3-448*x^4-446*x^5+432*x^6+524*x^7) / ((1-x)*(1+x)*(1-2*x^2)*(1-2*x^4)).

EXAMPLE

267 (decimal) = 100001011 -> 100001011 + 110100001 = 1010101100 = 684 (decimal).

PROG

(PARI) {m=77; stop=34; c=0; while(c<stop, print1(k=m, ", "); rev=0; while(k>0, d=divrem(k, 2); k=d[1]; rev=2*rev+d[2]); c++; m=m+rev)}

(MAGMA) trajectory:=function(init, steps, base) S:=[init]; a:=S[1]; for n in [1..steps] do a+:=Seqint(Reverse(Intseq(a, base)), base); Append(~S, a); end for; return S; end function; trajectory(77, 31, 2);
