The Collatz conjecture states that all paths eventually lead to 1. The Collatz conjecture[a] is one of the most famous unsolved problems in mathematics. The conjecture asks whether repeating two simple …

The Collatz Conjecture (or Syracuse Conjecture), also known as the 3n+1 problem, states that applying the 3n+1 algorithm to any positive integer will always end up with the number 1.

Aug 12, 2012 · We worked together last summer on the notorious 3 x + 1 conjecture (also known as the Collatz conjecture), an open problem which is so easy to state that a child can understand the …

Apr 3, 2017 · The 3x+1 problem concerns an iterated function and the question of whether it always reaches 1 when starting from any positive integer. It is also known as the Collatz problem or the …

The 3x+1 Problem is perhaps today's most enigmatic unsolved mathematical problem: it can be explained to child who has learned how to divide by 2 and multiply by 3, yet there are relatively few …

Use this handy online tool to calculate and graph the Collatz sequence for a specific positive integer n.

ollatz function. Since half of the even numbers are divisible by 2 and not by 4, and a fourth are divisible by 4 and not by 8, and so on, we consider the functions H2(x) = 3x/2, H4(x) = 3x/4, H8(x) = 3x

SUMMARY: The so-called 3x+1 problem is to prove that all 3x+1 sequences eventually converge. The sequences themselves however and their lengths display some interesting properties and raise …

A problem posed by L. Collatz in 1937, also called the 3x+1 mapping, 3n+1 problem, Hasse's algorithm, Kakutani's problem, Syracuse algorithm, Syracuse problem, Thwaites conjecture, and Ulam's …
