A097035 Initial values for the iteration of the function f(x) = A063919(x) such that the iteration ends in a 5-cycle, i.e., in A097024.

Table of n, a(n) for n=1..42.

Example

n = 570: list = {570, 870, 1290, [1878, 1890, 2142, 2178, 1482], 1878}; after 3 transients, a 5-cycle arises.
n = 1230: {1230, 1794, 2238, 2250, 1530, 1710, [1890, 2142, 2178, 1482, 1878]} ; the iteration to the 5-cycle is not necessarily monotone. - Hartmut F. W. Hoft, Jan 25 2024
