BALKAN 2006 Problem 4

  • Paper

Let mm be a positive integer and {an}n≥0\{a_n\}_{n\geq 0} be a sequence given by a0=a∈Na_0 = a \in \mathbb N , and an+1={an2 if an≡0(mod2),an+m otherwise. a_{n+1} = \begin{cases} \frac{a_n}2 & \textrm { if } a_n \equiv 0 \pmod 2, a_n + m & \textrm{ otherwise. } \end{cases} Find all values of aa such that the sequence is periodical (starting from the beginning).
