COMMENTS

It may be that every trajectory under iteration of the map k -> A291784(k) which increases indefinitely will eventually merge with this sequence. This is certainly true for the terms 45 through 152 of A291788. - N. J. A. Sloane, Sep 24 2017

FORMULA

a(n) = 2*a(n-7) for n >= 35, which proves this is unbounded. [Guy, Wall]
