EXAMPLE

a(1) = 37 because k+1 occurs in the Collatz sequence of k for the 37 values in A070993.

MATHEMATICA

Collatz[n_] := NestWhileList[If[EvenQ[#], #/2, 3 # + 1] &, n, # > 1 &]; nn = 75; t = Table[0, {nn}]; lastChange = 10; k = 0; While[k < 2*lastChange, k++; c = Collatz[k]; d = Intersection[Range[nn], c - k]; If[Length[d] > 0, lastChange = k; t[[d]]++]]
