Abstract
In this paper, the recently introduced M&m sequences and associated mean-median map are studied. These sequences are built by adding new points to a set of real numbers by balancing the mean of the new set with the median of the original. This process, although seemingly simple, gives rise to complicated dynamics. The main result is that two conjectures put forward by Chamberland and Martelli are shown to be true for a subset of possible starting conditions.
