COMMENTS

The base 2 trajectory of 537 = A075252(4) provably does not contain a palindrome. A proof can be based on the formula given below.

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

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

Interleaving of 3*A177682, 6*A177683, 3*A177684, 6*A177685.

FORMULA

a(0), ..., a(11) as above; for n > 11 and

n = 0 (mod 4): a(n) = 3*2^(2*k+13)+18249*2^k-3 where k = (n-4)/4;

n = 1 (mod 4): a(n) = 6*2^(2*k+13)-12102*2^k where k = (n-5)/4;

n = 2 (mod 4): a(n) = 6*2^(2*k+13)+11718*2^k-3 where k = (n-6)/4;

n = 3 (mod 4): a(n) = 12*2^(2*k+13)-11910*2^k where k = (n-7)/4.

G.f. for the sequence starting at a(12): 3*x^12*(155403+246008*x-188442*x^2-229616*x^3-260350*x^4-508920*x^5+293388*x^6+492528*x^7) / ((1-x)*(1+x)*(1-2*x^2)*(1-2*x^4))

a(n+1) = A055944(a(n)). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Apr 21 2013

EXAMPLE

537 (decimal) = 1000011001 -> 1000011001 + 1001100001 = 10001111010= 1146 (decimal).

PROG

(PARI) trajectory(n, steps) = {local(v, k=n); for(j=0, steps, print1(k, ", "); v=binary(k); k+=sum(j=1, #v, 2^(j-1)*v[j]))};

trajectory(537, 27);

(MAGMA) trajectory:=function(init, steps, base) a:=init; S:=[a]; for n in [1..steps] do a+:=Seqint(Reverse(Intseq(a, base)), base); Append(~S, a); end for; return S; end function; trajectory(537, 27, 2);
