COMMENT

If (3x+1)-Collatz conjecture is true, then this sequence is a permutation of nonnegative integers.

EXAMPLE

Put a(0)=0. Let m=3. Then f(m)=5, f^2(m)=1. The corresponding numbers n=(m-1)/2 are: 1,2,0. By the condition, a(1)>a(2)>a(0)=0. Therefore put a(2)=1, a(1)=2. Furthermore, consider m=7. Then f(m)=11, f^2(m)=17, f^3(m)=13, f^4(m)=5. The corresponding numbers n=(m-1)/2 are: 3,5,8,6,2 and, by the condition, a(3)>a(5)>a(8)>a(6)>a(2)=1.Therefore put a(6)=3 (the minimal value which yet did not appear), a(8)=4, a(5)=5, a(3)=6, etc.
