The colliding orbits conjecture for non-additive polynomials
The colliding orbits conjecture for non-additive polynomials
Let be a field of characteristic , let , and let be a polynomial of degree that is not additive. Assume that not all of , , and belong to . Define
The colliding orbits conjecture. The set is infinite if and only if . This problem concerns when the strict forward orbits of two points under the family both contain a target point for infinitely many parameters. The monomial case with was settled, while the stated general case is presented as a conjecture.
