Search google for similar equations to Collatz. You can either post right here or write a paper and send it to a math journal if you think your results are original. If you post here, you can always sign the post with your real name.

I searched in Google , Wolfram , and Many Online Mathematical Resources
I did not found any thing like them and

and about posting , i am worried about security and someone else taking credit ,
So i wanted to first be sure about this thing
and it is not a Private forum its posts could be scene even if you don't register here

What is signing a post ? i don't know about it !

and suggest the name of a journal to which i can send it
i live in INDIA

Thanks for your reply

About Posting Is there any where i can post so that Only IssacNewton and epsi00 can see and discuss but you guys have to promise not to make that public

If you google "mathematical journals", I am sure google will oblige and return 1000's of entries for you to look at and decide which journal is the lucky one you will be sending your groundbreaking research to.

And no, this being a public forum, you can't prevent people from reading your posts. If you want privacy, you only have two options:
1- don't post in a forum
2- send people a write up of your research in a private message ( please don't send me your research, I have been known to steal people's research in the past )

Lastly, signing your name is just that, adding your real name at the end of your past, not your pseudo.
I like to call myself John Smith so here's a simple way for me to sign this post

The reason it was suggested to place the paper here with your signature, is it is time stamped and with signature.
It then is proof if new that you did it and when.
without seeing what you ae saying, it is hard to say if it has been done before. I suspect it has.
