The binary polynomial Collatz conjecture
The binary polynomial Collatz conjecture
Let . Define the associated sequences , , and by , , and by removing all powers of and from each even polynomial to obtain the following odd polynomial. Binary polynomial Collatz conjecture. For a given , there exists such that for all , and . This is the proposed analogue over binary polynomials of the integer Collatz conjecture; the source does not provide a resolution.
