COMMENT

Diagnosis of true cycle of length m: a[j-m]=a[j], but a[j-d]=a[j] cases are excluded for d dividing m.

Length 5 is rare. Example: a[6634509269055173050761216000]=5 and the 5-cycle is {6634509269055173050761216000, 7521613519844726223667200000, 7946886558074859593662464000, 7794495412499746337587200000, 7970172471593905204651622400, 6634509269055173050761216000}. The initial values 2^79=604462909807314587353088 and 2^83= 9671406556917033397649408 after more than 250 transient terms reach this cycle.

EXAMPLE

Occurrences of cycle lengths if n<=1000: {C1=110, C2=781, C3=36, C4=67, C5=0, C6=6, C7=0...}.

g[n_] := EulerPhi[ DivisorSigma[1, n]]; f[n_] := f[n] = Block[{lst = NestWhileList[g, n, UnsameQ, All ]}, -Subtract @@ Flatten[ Position[lst, lst[[ -1]]]]]; Table[ f[n], {n, 105}] (from Robert G. Wilson v Jul 14 2004)
