The convergence conjecture for the triplet (10,12,8)+(10,12,8)_+

For a positive integer n1n\geq 1, consider the process that removes the trailing zero when nn is a multiple of 1010, and otherwise multiplies nn by 66, adds 44 times its last digit, and divides the result by 55.

Convergence conjecture for (10,12,8)+(10,12,8)_+. Repeating this process indefinitely, every starting number eventually reaches 44 after finitely many iterations.

The paper presents this as a generalization of the classical Collatz conjecture for the triplet (10,12,8)+(10,12,8)_+. Its resolution is not supplied in the source.
