%N Array read by upward antidiagonals: A(n, k) = R(A(n-1, k)) for n > 1, k >= 1; A(1, k) = 2*k-1, where Reduced Collatz function R(n) gives the odd part of 3n+1.
%C Collatz conjecture is equal to the claim that in each column 1 will eventually appear. See also arrays A372287 and A372288.
%H Antti Karttunen, <a href="/A372283/b372283.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..22155; the first 210 antidiagonals, flattened</a>

%F For n > 1, A(n, k) = R(A372282(n-1, k)), where R(n) = (3*n+1)/2^A371093(n).
%F For all k >= 1, A(A258145(k-1), k) = 1 [which is the topmost 1 in each column].
