COMMENT

Take any pair {a,b}. Each next pair is get by the rule {a,b} -> Sort[{Max[{a,b}]-Min[{a,b}],k*Min[{a,b}]]. Here k=3 and the first {a,b}={1,2}. For k = 2 there is a fixed point {a,b=2a}. For k > 2, are there any limits or cycles of the sequence {for some initial pair {a,b}?

FORMULA

b(n) = A075256(2n).

EXAMPLE

b(n) = A075256(2n).

MATHEMATICA

ss=Table[0, {j, 100}]; s=ss[[1]]={1, 2}; Do[ss[[i]]=Sort[{Max[s]-Min[s], 3*Min[s]}]; s=ss[[i]], {i, 2, 100}]; Table[Flatten[ss][[i]], {i, 2, 200, 2}]
