Undergrad Breakthrough in 3n+1 Problem: Collatz Conjecture
To get the number 27, we just need to start the recursion from 1 and use three rules, \frac{2n-1}{3}, \frac{4n-1}{3} and 4x+1. 1 -> 5 -> 3 -> 13 -> 53 -> 35 -> 23 -> 15 -> 61 -> 81 -> 325 -> 433 -> 577 -> 769 -> 3077 -> 2051 -> 1367 -> 911 -> 607 -> 2429 -> 1619 -> 1079 -> 719 -> 479 -> 319 ->...- Martynov_M

Undergrad Breakthrough in 3n+1 Problem: Collatz Conjecture
And it's OK to not understand each other in the mathematics. I have some questions. What is the Collatz conjecture? Is it an algorithm? What kind of algorithm is this? Is it recursion? What step does the recursion? If we know the step of the recursion, we can prove the conjecture. I think this...- Martynov_M

Undergrad Breakthrough in 3n+1 Problem: Collatz Conjecture
I did a study of the Collatz conjecture and found that all even numbers can be removed from the Collatz conjecture because even numbers act as the connecting links between odd numbers. What do you think about it? Is it a breakthrough in 3n+1 problem? 27 -> 41 -> 31 -> 47 -> 71 -> 107 -> 161 ->...- Martynov_M
