%e When n=3, {u(k)} sequence is 1, 1, 3, 1, 5, 1, 7, 3, 7, 1, 9, 5, 7, 1, 9, 5, 7, 1, 9, 5, 7, 1, ... with period (7, 1, 9, 5) of length 4, hence a(3)=4. If n=7 the period of u(k) is (19, 7, 19, 5, 21, 9, 19, 3, 23, 13, 17, 3, 21, 11, 17, 1, 23, 15, 15, 7, 15, 1, 21, 13, 15, 5, 17, 5) of length 28.
