%N Primes extracted from a pseudo-Collatz cycle '3*n-1' by consecutive arithmetic derivatives, here with starting point prime(99147) = 1287511.
%C a(n) is defined as a sequence of subsequences of prime numbers extracted from the pseudo-Collatz cycle '3*n-1' , C = c(z) by consecutive arithmetic derivatives AD(i) of C. The starting point here is c(1) = prime(99147) = 1287511, the length is z = 560. The arithmetic derivative AD(i), i >=0 is a tool to select prime numbers out of a given sequence of integers, because the AD of prime numbers is 1.
%C Let AD(i,C(k)) be the i-th AD of the AD of C(k), then AD(1,C(k)) is the first AD of C(k) with AD(0,C(k)) = C(k). So a(n) = AD(i,C(k)) is a sequence of consecutive values of AD(i) of C(k).
%C The selection of the prime numbers can be made under the conditions:
%C (1) If AD(i+1,C(k)) = 1 then AD(i,C(k)) is prime.
%C (2) If AD(i,C(k)) mod 2 = 1 and AD(i,C(k)) > AD(i+1,C(k)) then AD(i,C(k)) is uneven and is (probably) convergent to a prime number.
%C (3) If AD(i,C(k)) mod 2 = 0 and AD(i,C(k)) < AD(i+1,C(k)) then AD(i) is even and (probably) divergent.
%C If any of the conditions 1 - 3 are not satisfied then the search for primes by AD in that sequence is hopeless.
%C In Tables 1 and 3, i is the number of the AD, np the counting number of primes of the AD and a(n) the last prime number of the i'th AD.
