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 Record n for the sequence A006666(n)/log(n), for n > 1; i.e., the n at which the number of steps to 1 for the halving-Collatz iteration divided by log(n) sets a new maximum.
%C These numbers (for n > 2, at least) are called "Abby-Normal" numbers by Dominici in the referenced paper (definition 21); 2 is included here to agree with the RECORDS transform convention. - _D. S. McNeil_, Mar 26 2009
%C Three further terms are known (see Roosendaal) but they may not be the next three terms. - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Oct 21 2012
