Divisions by Two in Collatz Sequences: A Data Science Approach
Divisions by Two in Collatz Sequences: A Data Science Approach
The Collatz conjecture is an unsolved number theory problem. We approach the question by examining the divisions by two that are performed within Collatz sequences. Aside from classical mathematical methods, we use techniques of data science. Based on the analysis of 10,000 sequences we show that the number of divisions …
