COMMENTS

For initial value = 2^33 more than 38000 iterations did not lead to a recurrent term, so possibly there is no cycle. a(34) through a(39) are 8, 52, 71, 24, 40, 12. - Klaus Brockhaus, Jul 19 2007

EXAMPLE
|
Trajectory of 2^0 is 1,1, ...; there are zero transient terms preceding the 1-cycle (1), so a(0) = 0.
Trajectory of 2^14 is 16384, 16383, 34200, 30480, 26520, 16380, 10200, 6138, 6045, 9906, 9920, 12264, 10200, ...; there are six transient terms preceding the 6-cycle (10200, 6138, 6045, 9906, 9920, 12264), so a(14) = 6.
