COMMENTS

Number of residue classes in which A074473(m) is not constant.

The ratio of numbers of inhomogenous r-classes versus uniform-classes enumerated here increases with n and tends to 0. For n large enough ratio < a(16)/65536=2114/65536 ~ 3.23 per cent.

EXAMPLE

n=6: Modulo 64, eight residue classes were counted: r=7, 15, 27, 31, 39, 47, 59, 63. See A075476-A075483. For other 64-8=56 r-classes u(q)=A074473(64k+q) is constant: in 32 class u(q)=2, in 16 classes u(q)=4, in 4 classes u(q)=7 and in 4 cases u(q)=9. E.g. for r=11, 23, 43, 55 A047473(64k+r)=9 independently of k.

PROG

(C) /* call as follows: uint64_t s=survives(0, 1, 1, 0, bits); */

uint64_t survives(uint64_t r, uint64_t m, uint64_t lm, int p2, int fp2)

{

    while(!(m&1) && (m>=lm)) {

        if(r&1) { r+=(r+1)>>1; m+=m>>1; }

        else { r>>=1; m>>=1; }

    }

    if(m<lm) { return 0; }

    if(p2==fp2) { return 1; }

    return survives(r, m<<1, lm<<1, p2+1, fp2)

        + survives(r+m, m<<1, lm<<1, p2+1, fp2);

}
