%N Starting numbers k = a(n) for the (modified) Collatz map iteration which survive in the sieved Collatz table of A246646.

%C The (modified or Terras) Collatz map is T(k) = (3*k+1)/2 if k is odd and T(k) = k/2 if k is even, where k is a positive integer.

%C 1 is not listed because it appears in row n=1 for k=2 of A246646 . 4 does not appear because 4 = A246646(2,4). Similarly 5 = A246646(2,2), 8 = A246646(2,3), 10 = A246646(4,7), 11 = A246646(4,2), 13 = A246646(4,5), 14 = A246646(5,2), etc.

%Y Cf. A246646.
