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.

%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)
