%H Antti Karttunen, <a href="/A318882/b318882.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..87360</a>

%F a(n) = A097031(n) + A318883(n).

%F a(n) = A097032(n) + A318880(n) - 1.

%e For n = 1, A063919(1) = 1, that is, we immediately end with a terminal cycle of length 1 without a preceding transient part, thus a(1) = 0+1 = 1.

%e For n = 2, A063919(2) = 1, and A063919(1) = 1, so we end with a terminal cycle of length 1, after a transient part of length 1, thus a(2) = 1+1 = 2.

%e For n = 30, A063919(30) = 42, A063919(42) = 54, A063919(54) = 30, thus a(30) = a(42) = a(54) = 0+3 = 3, as 30, 42 and 54 are all contained in their own terminal cycle of length 3, without a preceding transient part.

%e For n = 1506, the iteration-list is {1506, 1518, 1938, 2382, 2394, 2406, [2418, 2958, 3522, 3534, 4146, 4158, 3906, 3774, 4434, 4446, 3954, 3966, 3978, 3582, 2418, ..., ad infinitum]}. After a transient of length 6 the iteration ends in a cycle of length 14, thus a(1506) = 6+14 = 20.
