OIM 2007 Problem 1

    Given an integer mm , define the sequence {an}\left\{a_{n}\right\} as follows: a1=m2, an+1=an⌈an⌉, if n≥1a_{1}=\frac{m}{2},\ a_{n+1}=a_{n}\left\lceil a_{n}\right\rceil,\textnormal{ if }n\geq 1 Find all values of mm for which a2007a_{2007} is the first integer appearing in the sequence.

    Note: For a real number xx , ⌈x⌉\left\lceil x\right\rceil is defined as the smallest integer greater or equal to xx . For example, ⌈π⌉=4\left\lceil\pi\right\rceil=4 , ⌈2007⌉=2007\left\lceil 2007\right\rceil=2007 .
