Abstract: We analyze properties of the 2-adic valuations of an integer sequence that originates from an explicit evaluation of a quartic integral. We also give a combinatorial interpretation of the valuations of this sequence. Connections with the orbits arising from the Collatz (3x+1) problem are discussed.

Review text

The authors study properties of the 2-adic valuation of an integer sequence that originates from an explicit evaluation of a quartic integral (for details see [\textit{G. Boros} and \textit{V. H. Moll}, J. Comput. Appl. Math. 106, No. 2, 361--368 (1999; Zbl 0939.33007)]). They generalize a result of \textit{G. Boros, V. H. Moll} and \textit{J. Shallit} [Sci., Ser. A, Math. Sci. (N.S.) 7(2001), 37--50 (2002; Zbl 1121.11022)] and also give a combinatorial interpretation of the valuations of this sequence.
