EXAMPLE
The irregular array starts:
(k=1) 1, 5, 17;
(k=11) 19;
(k=17) 33, 73;
(k=19) 51;
a(5)=33 is the smallest starting value for a 3x-17 trajectory that includes A226623(5)=65. The trajectory is {33,41,53,71,98,49,65,...}.
CROSSREFS
Row n begins with a(A226628(n)) and has length A226629(n). k=A226630(n).
The cycle associated with a(n) has length A226625(n) and A226626(n) odd elements of which A226624(n) is the largest.
Cf. A226611.
