As an illustration of this, the parity cycle (1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0) and its sub-cycle (1 1 0 0) are associated to the same fraction 5 / 7 when reduced to lowest terms. In this context, assuming the validity of the Collatz conjecture implies that (1 0) and (0 1) are the only parity cycles generated by positive whole numbers (1 and 2 ...
Bad idea, you should always include the loop cycle. True, it's easy to snip it for 3n+1 in the positive domain, but not so easy elsewhere. If you snip off the loop cycle of +(3n+1), there remains only one "trunk". But the -5 & -17 graphs in -(3n+1) have more than one "trunk", so removing the loop cycle makes the pieces of the remaining graph ...
However, 1 is a square mod 3 (equal to the square of both 1 and 2 mod 3), so there can be no similar identity for all values of that are congruent to 1 mod 3. More generally, as 1 is a square mod n {\displaystyle n} for all n > 1 {\displaystyle n>1} , there can be no complete covering system of modular identities for all n {\displaystyle n ...
The elements of a generating set of this semigroup are related to the sequence of numbers involved in the still open Collatz conjecture or the "3x + 1 problem". The 3x + 1 semigroup has been used to prove a weaker form of the Collatz conjecture. In fact, it was in such context the concept of the 3x + 1 semigroup was introduced by H. Farkas in ...

Basically 3n+1 must, for all n, cross, intersect, or land on or something math-speak, a value that is also in 2^x where x is a natural number. How about, there is a non-empty intersection between the set of all numbers 2^x and any set of 3n+1 for any natural starting number n.
In mathematics, the Farey sequence of order n is the sequence of completely reduced fractions, either between 0 and 1, or without this restriction, [a] which when in lowest terms have denominators less than or equal to n, arranged in order of increasing size.
In a computer with a full 32-bit by 32-bit multiplier, for example, one could choose B = 2 31 and store each digit as a separate 32-bit binary word. Then the sums x 1 + x 0 and y 1 + y 0 will not need an extra binary word for storing the carry-over digit (as in carry-save adder ), and the Karatsuba recursion can be applied until the numbers to ...
