A075480 Number of iteration that first becomes smaller than the initial value if Collatz-function (A006370) is iterated, starting with numbers of form 64n+39. 2
14, 69, 48, 20, 14, 27, 17, 33, 14, 20, 22, 40, 14, 58, 20, 17, 14, 33, 22, 33, 14, 64, 17, 33, 14, 71, 20, 35, 14, 40, 43, 17, 14, 71, 71, 25, 14, 27, 17, 40, 14, 22, 25, 27, 14, 43, 25, 17, 14, 66, 27, 25, 14, 76, 17, 20, 14, 22, 43, 27, 14, 66, 25, 17, 14, 22 (list; graph; refs; listen; history; internal format)

COMMENTS

Remark that initial values of form 64m+r, if r={3,11,19,27,35,43,51,55} provide first-sink-lengths {7,9,7,9,7,9,7,9} respectively; e.g. {64k+19,192k+58,96k+29,288k+88,144k+44,72k+22,36k+11} submerge first below initial value at the 7th term,36k+11<64k+19.

FORMULA

a(n) = A074473(64n+39).

EXAMPLE

n=0: 64n+39=39,list={{39,118,59,178,89,268,134, 67,202,101,304,152,76,38,19,58....}, i.e. the 14th term=38 is the first that <39, the initial value, so a(0)=14.

MAPLE

col := proc(n) if(n mod 2 = 0)then return n/2: fi: return 3*n+1: end: A075480 := proc(n) local s, v: s:=1: v:=64*n+39: while v>=64*n+39 do v:=col(v): s:=s+1: od: return s: end: seq(A075480(n), n=0..65); # Nathaniel Johnston, Jun 22 2011
