Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N Beginnings of periodic unitary aliquot sequences.

%C Provided that A034460 has no infinite unbounded trajectories, these are also numbers m such that when iterating the map k -> A034460(k), starting from k = m, the iteration will never reach 0, that is, will instead eventually enter into a finite cycle. - _Antti Karttunen_, Sep 23 2018
