The generalized Collatz orbit criterion
Let , and let be the Collatz function defined by
Consider the sequence for . Generalized Collatz conjecture. This sequence will reach if and only if both of the following properties hold:
- .
- .
This is presented as a reformulation of the Collatz conjecture in the source. The limiting conditions are not further clarified there, and no resolution or independent justification of the claimed equivalence is supplied.
