Möller's conjecture on generalized Collatz maps

About 2 years old · traced to

Fix coprime integers m,d>1m,d>1 with m>dm>d, and define TMo¨ller:Z→ZT_{\mathrm{Möller}}:\mathbb{Z}\to\mathbb{Z} by the residue-class formula given in the source. Möller's conjecture. The map TMo¨llerT_{\mathrm{Möller}} eventually iterates every x∈Zx\in\mathbb{Z} if and only if

m<dd/(d−1).m<d^{d/(d-1)}.

Regardless of whether this inequality holds, TMo¨llerT_{\mathrm{Möller}} has finitely many cycles. The claim is a proposed classification of generalized Collatz dynamics and remains open in the source.
