COMMENTS
| Composing the map A138750 with A007918 to the left and
restricting it to the primes makes it a
mapping from primes into primes which is a natural generalization of
the Collatz problem to primes.
(Looking at parity would not be interesting for primes, so using "mod
3" is the simplest nontrivial generalization.)
The only even prime p=2 is the only fixed point of this map and all
odd primes seem to end up
in the loop 7 -> 17 -> 11 -> 7, after a number of steps given in A138752.
The sequence A124123 lists the primes which do not occur in the
present sequence.
See A138750 for further information.
