The modulo-10 Collatz conjecture

For a positive integer n1n\geq1, if nn is a multiple of 1010, replace it by n/10n/10; otherwise, let rr be its last digit, replace it by (12n+8r)/10(12n+8r)/10, and iterate this process. Modulo-10 Collatz conjecture. For every starting integer n1n\geq1, the process eventually reaches 44 after finitely many iterations. This is the paper's first generalized Collatz example and is presented as a conjecture supported by preliminary computational verification; no proof is supplied.
