I've put the focus of the question into the title to avoind to step in as for "m-cycles" as in literature

Oct 15, 2011 at 18:35 comment added Gottfried Helms What did you mean with "m-cycle"? (There is already a convention for that term in Simons/deWeger but I can't imagine you're referring to this here) <hr> J.Simons/B.de Weger: Theoretical and computational bounds for m-cycles of the 3n + 1 problem version 1.0, November 18, 2003 win.tue.nl/~bdeweger/3n+1_v1.0.pdf (newer versions available)
Oct 14, 2011 at 14:59 comment added Gerhard Paseman For 1-cycles, and some odd a, yes. For larger cycles, my guess is not only that it isn't known but that for many a it is not true. I would expect the same for an+b, but don't rely on my intuition. Gerhard "Ask Me About System Design" Paseman, 2011.10.14
