COMMENT

Given a power of two, the value in this sequence is the next higher Mersenne number, or a(2^m) = 2^(m + 1) - 1. [From Alonso Delarte (alonso.delarte(AT)gmail.com), Apr 10 2009]

LINKS

Index entries for sequences related to 3x+1 (or Collatz) problem

EXAMPLE

a(5) = 36 because the Ulam's conjecture trajectory sequence starting on 5 runs 5, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1 and therefore 5 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 36. [From Alonso Delarte (alonso.delarte(AT)gmail.com), Apr 10 2009]

MATHEMATICA

f[1] = 1; f[n_Integer?OddQ] := 3n + 1; f[n_Integer?EvenQ] := n/2; Table[ -1 + Plus @@ FixedPointList[f, n], {n, 60}] [From Alonso Delarte (alonso.delarte(AT)gmail.com), Apr 10 2009]

CROSSREFS

Apart from initial term, exactly the same as A049074. [From Alonso Delarte (alonso.delarte(AT)gmail.com), Apr 10 2009]

EXTENSIONS

Corrected a(16) to 31 to match other powers of 2; removed duplicate value of a(48) = 139 because a(49) = 806 and not 139. Alonso Delarte (alonso.delarte(AT)gmail.com), Apr 10 2009
