Collatz Conjecture-Simplified

Authors: Richard Hudson
Comments: 4 Pages.

Originated by Lothar Collatz in 1937 [1], the conjecture states: given the recursive function, y=3x+1 if x is odd, or y=x/2 if x is even, for any positive integer x, y will equal 1 after a finite number of steps. This analysis examines why the Collatz process is true.
