COMMENT

Conjecture : let z(1)=x; z(2)=y; z(3)= z; z(n)=abs(z(n-1)-z(n-2)-z(n-3)) if z(n) is unbounded (i.e. x,y,z are such that z(n) doesn't reach a cycle of length 2), then there are 2 integers n(x,y,z) and w(x,y,z) such that M(n) = floor(sqrt(n+w(x,y,z))) for n>n(,x,y,z) where M(n) = Max ( a(k) : 1<=k<=n ). As example : w(1,2,2)=9 n(1,2,2)=4; w(1,2,4)=29 n(1,2,4)=4; w(1,2,8)=157 n(1,2,8)=9

FORMULA

a(n)/sqrt(n) is bounded. More precisely, let M(n) = Max ( a(k) : 1<=k<=n ); then M(n)= floor(sqrt(n+9)) for n>4
