IMO Shortlist 2017 problem N1
Dodao/la:
arhiva3. listopada 2019. For each integer $a_0 > 1$, define the sequence $a_0, a_1, a_2, \ldots$ for $n \geq 0$ as
$$a_{n+1} =
\begin{cases}
\sqrt{a_n} & \text{if } \sqrt{a_n} \text{ is an integer,} \\
a_n + 3 & \text{otherwise.}
\end{cases}
$$Determine all values of $a_0$ such that there exists a number $A$ such that $a_n = A$ for infinitely many values of $n$.
