On Cycles of Generalized Collatz Sequences
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: We explore the cycles and convergence of Generalized Collatz Sequence, where in original collatz function is replaced with . We present a generating function for cycles of GCS and show a particular inheritance structure of cycles across such sequences. The cycle structure is invariant across such inheritance and appears more fundamental than cycle elements. A consequence is that there can be arbitrarily large number of cycles in some sequences. GCS can also be seen as an integer space partition function and such partitions along with collatz graphs are inherited across sequences. An interesting connection between cycles of GCS and certain exponential Diophantine equations is also presented.
