A075483 Number of iteration that first becomes smaller than the initial value if Collatz-function (A006370) is iterated, starting with numbers of form 64n+63. 6

COMMENTS

1stSubmergeLengths[=A074473] with initial values belonging to other residue classes modulo 64 are either listed in A075476-A075483 or can be easily determined. For 64k+2s the first sink below initial value is at 2nd iterate; for 64k+4s+1 the first submerge below initial value comes at 4th term of iteration list; finally if initial value is of 64k+4s+3 form or moreover initial value = 64k+r,r = 3,11,19,23,35,43,51,55 then for all k first sink emerges at the 7,9,7,9,7,9,7,9-th iterates respectively.

FORMULA

a(n)=A074473[64n+63]

EXAMPLE

n=8: 64n+63=575, the list= the 17th term 410 < 575=initial value, so a(8)=17.
