COMMENT

Absolute values of A094267.

Consider the Collatz (or 3x+1) problem and the iterative sequence c(k) where c(0)=n is a positive integer and c(k+1)=c(k)/2 if c(k) is even, c(k+1)=(3*c(k)+1)/2 if c(k) is odd. Then a(n) is the minimum number of iterations in order to have c(a(n)) odd if n is even or c(a(n)) even if n is odd. - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Nov 16 2001

FORMULA

Equals A053398(2, n).

G.f.: (1+x)/x^2 * Sum(k>=1, x^(2^k)/(1-x^(2^k))). - Ralf Stephan (ralf(AT)ark.in-berlin.de), Apr 12 2002

a(n) = A136480(n+1). - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Dec 31 2007
