COMMENT

Recursive definition: a(1)=1, a(n) = least number m such that the fractional part of (3/2)^m is greater than the

fractional part of (3/2)^k for all k, 1<=k<m.

The next such number must be greater than 305000.

FORMULA

Recursion: a(1):=1, a(k):=min{ m>1 | fract((3/2)^m) > fract((3/2)^a(k-1))}, where fract(x) = x-floor(x).

EXAMPLE

a(2)=5, since fract((3/2)^5)=0.59375, but fract((3/2)^k)=0.5, 0.25, 0.375, 0.0625 for 1<=k<=4; thus

fract((3/2)^5)>fract((3/2)^k) for 1<=k<5.
