Comments

Continued fraction expansion of (3+sqrt(21))/6 is A010684.

Also greatest eigenvalue of the 6 X 6 matrix [[3 0 0 3 0 0][0 0 0 0 1 0][0 3 0 0 3 0][0 0 0 0 1 0][0 0 3 0 0 3][0 0 0 0 1 0]]/3. It is conjectured that this is lim_{k->infinity} A005186(k+1)/A005186(k), i.e., the asymptotic growth rate of the number of numbers with the same total stopping time in the Collatz iteration. - Hugo Pfoertner, Sep 28 2020
