COMMENTS

Do the values characterize 3/2? If not, what set do they characterize? - R. William Gosper (rwg(AT)osots.com), Jul 03 3008

The next term is greater than 3*10^8.

MATHEMATICA

a = 1; Do[b = N[ Mod[(3/2)^n, 1]]; If[b < a, Print[n]; a = b], {n, 1, 10^6}]

PROG

(PARI) x=1; y=1; a(n)=if(n<0, 0, b=y+1; while(frac((3/2)^b)>frac((3/2)^x), b++); x=b; y=b; b)
