Let c(1)=1 and c(2)=n; c(k+2) = c(k+1)/2 + c(k)/2 if c(k+1) and c(k) have the same parity; c(k+2)=abs(c(k+1)-2*c(k)) otherwise; sequence gives values of n=c(2) such that lim k -> infinity c(k) = infinity. |

COMMENT
|
If c(2) is even then c(k) = 1 for k >= 2*c(2), hence there's no even value in the sequence. If n is in the sequence, there's an integer k(n) and an integer m(n), such that for any k >= k(n) c(2k)-c(2k-1) = 2*m(n) and c(2k+1)-c(2k)=-m(n). Sometime m(n) = (n-1)/2 but not always. If B(n) = a(n+1)-a(n) then B(n) = 2 or 4 only, but B(n) doesn't seem follow any pattern.

EXAMPLE
|
if c(2)=41 -> c(3)= 21 ->c(4)= 31 ->c(5)= 26 ->c(6)= 36 ->c(7)= 31 ->c(8)= 41 ->c(9)= 36 then c(2k)-c(2k-1)= 10 c(2k+1)-c(2k) = - 5 for k >=2 implies that c(k) -> infinity hence 41 is in the sequence.
