Let $S$ be the set of all pairs $(m,n)$ of relatively prime positive integers $m,n$ with $n$ even and $m < n.$ For $s = (m,n) \in S$ write $n = 2^k \cdot n_o$ where $k, n_0$ are positive integers with $n_0$ odd and define \[ f(s) = (n_0, m + n - n_0). \] Prove that $f$ is a function from $S$ to $S$ and that for each $s = (m,n) \in S,$ there exists a positive integer $t \leq \frac{m+n+1}{4}$ such that \[ f^t(s) = s, \] where \[ f^t(s) = \underbrace{ (f \circ f \circ \cdots \circ f) }_{t \text{ times}}(s). \] If $m+n$ is a prime number which does not divide $2^k - 1$ for $k = 1,2, \ldots, m+n-2,$ prove that the smallest value $t$ which satisfies the above conditions is $\left [\frac{m+n+1}{4} \right ]$ where $\left[ x \right]$ denotes the greatest integer $\leq x.$
