COMMENTS

a(217) = a(255) = a(446) = a(558) = a(717) = a(735) = a(775) = a(945) = a(958) = -1 since the trajectory either converges to (1007,1269) or to (1503,3751). For 3932, a possibly infinite trajectory emerges. 255987 has several preimages, e.g. a(7^25*31^19) = a(3^28*7^7*19) = a(7^12*31^51) = -1. a(3568) = 74 ending in the prime 318792605899852268194734519209581. - Chai Wah Wu, Jun 16 2017
