COMMENT

These numbers appear in connection with the 3x+1 problem.

Also, numbers n such that the first digit in ternary expansion on 2^n is 2. Sloane conjectured that, for any integer n >=15, 2^n always has a 0 in its ternary expansion. - Mohammed Bouayoun (Mohammed.bouayoun(AT)sanef.com), Apr 24 2006

EXAMPLE

a(5) = 1 + floor(5/(1-theta))= 1 + floor(5/0.3690702464)= 1 + floor(13,54..) = 14

MAPLE

Digits := 500: it := evalf(ln(2)/ln(3)): for n from 0 to 200 do printf(`%d, `, 1+floor(n/(1-it))) od:
