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 Numbers n such that the sequence defined by {b(1)=1, b(2)=n, b(k) = squarefree part of b(k-1)+b(k-2) for k>2} does not eventually merge with the period-6 sequence A272636.
%C The sequences b(n) for the initial terms 79, 83, 92, 101, 176, 258, 425, 445 all merge with the period-43 sequence A272637. In fact for n=83 b(n) IS A272637.
%C From _Lars Blomberg_, Jan 02 2018: (Start)
%C Among the first 10000 terms, two additional cycles appear:
%C A) with period 22: [15, 2162, 2177, 4339, 181, 1130, 1311, 2441, 938, 3379, 4317, 481, 4798, 5279, 10077, 3839, 71, 3910, 3981, 7891, 742, 8633].
%C B) with period 26: [23, 1801, 114, 1915, 2029, 986, 335, 1321, 46, 1367, 157, 381, 538, 919, 1457, 66, 1523, 1589, 778, 263, 1041, 326, 1367, 1693, 85, 1778].
%C The first occurrence of cycle A is n=28243, for cycle B n=21245.
%C Cycle A occurs for 17 terms, B for 24 terms and A272637 for the remaining 9959 terms. (End)
