The cycle-vertex conjecture for the Loosened Collatz Graph
The cycle-vertex conjecture for the Loosened Collatz Graph
Let denote the positive integers, and let the Loosened Collatz Graph be the graph whose vertices and cycles are defined by the Loosened Collatz Function. Cycle-vertex conjecture. For all , is a vertex of a cycle. This conjecture asserts that every positive integer not divisible by lies on a cycle in the graph; the source gives no resolution, so its status remains open.
