COMMENT

A Collatz-Fibonacci mixture. Does this sequence diverge to infinity?

Conjecture: More generally let a(1)=x a(2)=y be 2 distinct positive integers then for any x,y >0 lim n -> infinity ln(a(n))/n = 1/4

FORMULA

a(n+2)=2*(a(n+1)+a(n))/(3+(-1)^(a(n+1)+a(n)))

It seems that a(n)*exp(-n/4) is bounded.

EXAMPLE

a(1)=1 and a(2)=2 have different parities hence a(3)=a(2)+a(1)=3
