A078108 Let u(1)=u(2)=1, u(3)=2n, u(k) = abs(u(k-1)-u(k-2)-u(k-3)) and M(k)= Max( u(i) : 1<=i<=k), then for any k>=A078109(n), M(k)=sqrtint(k + a(n)) where sqrtint(x) denotes floor(sqrt(x)). +0

COMMENT

It appears that (1) a(n) always exist (2) a(n) is even (3) a(n)/n^(5/2) -> infinity. If initial conditions are u(1)=u(2)=1, u(3)=2n+1, then u(k) reaches a 2-cycle for any k>m large enough (cf. A078098) - Benoit Cloitre, Jan 29 2006
