We investigate the problems related to the Collatz map $T$ from the point of view of functional analysis. We associate with $T$ certain linear operator $\mathcal{T}$ and show that cycles and (hypothetical) diverging trajectory (generated by…

The Collatz map (or the $3n{+}1$-map) $f$ is defined on positive integers by setting $f(n)$ equal to $3n+1$ when $n$ is odd and $n/2$ when $n$ is even. The Collatz conjecture states that starting from any positive integer $n$, some iterate…

We solve a number of questions pertaining to the dynamics of linear operators on Hilbert spaces, sometimes by using Baire category arguments and sometimes by constructing explicit examples. In particular, we prove the following results. - A…

We study a hypercyclicity property of linear dynamical systems: a bounded linear operator T acting on a separable infinite-dimensional Banach space X is said to be hypercyclic if there exists a vector x in X such that {T^{n}x : n>0} is…

We study the linear dynamics of the random sequence $(T_n(.))_{n \geq 1}$ of the operators $T_n(\omega) = T(\tau^{n-1}\omega) \dotsm T(\tau \omega) T(\omega), n \geq 1$. These products depend on an ergodic measure-preserving transformation…

The Collatz process is defined on natural numbers by iterating the map $T(x) = T_0(x) = x/2$ when $x\in\mathbb{N}$ is even and $T(x)=T_1(x) =(3x+1)/2$ when $x$ is odd. In an effort to understand its dynamics, and since Generalised Collatz…

According to Kim, Peris and Song, a continuous linear operator $T$ on a complex Banach space $X$ is called {\it numerically hypercyclic} if the numerical orbit $\{f(T^nx):n\in\N\}$ is dense in $\C$ for some $x\in X$ and $f\in X^*$…

We introduce an explicit logarithmic transformation $T(x) = \{\log_6(x + 1/5)\}$ under which the Collatz map becomes a rigid circle rotation by the irrational angle \(\alpha = \log_6 3\), perturbed by a uniformly bounded error term. We…

This study analyzes the Collatz map through nonlinear dynamics. By embedding integers in Sharkovsky's ordering, we show that odd initial values suffice for full dynamical characterization. We introduce ``direction phases'' to partition…

We investigate frequently hypercyclic and chaotic linear operators from a measure-theoretic point of view. Among other things, we show that any frequently hypercyclic operator T acting on a reflexive Banach space admits an invariant…

In this paper, we prove that if $T$ is diskcyclic operator then the closed unit disk multiplied by the union of the numerical range of all iterations of $T$ is dense in $\mathcal H$. Also, if $T$ is diskcyclic operator and $|\lambda|\le 1$,…

We prove that the dynamical system $(\mathbb{N}, 2^{\mathbb{N}}, T, \mu)$, where $\mu$ is a finite measure equivalent to the counting measure, is power-bounded in $L^1(\mu)$ if and only if there exists one cycle of the map $T$ and for any…

Let $T$ be a bounded linear operator on a Hilbert space $H$ such that \[ \alpha[T^*,T]:=\sum_{n=0}^\infty \alpha_n T^{*n}T^n\ge 0. \] where $\alpha(t)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty \alpha_n t^n$ is a suitable analytic function in the unit disc…

The Collatz conjecture states that repeated steps of $n\mathrm{\to }\mathrm{3}n\mathrm{+1}$ at odd numbers and $n\mathrm{\to }n\mathrm{/2}$ at even numbers amount to walks over root paths to the branching number $c=4$ in the `trivial'…

On the set of positive integers, we consider the iterative process that maps $n$ to either $\frac{3n+1}{2}$ or $\frac{n}{2}$ depending on the parity of $n$. The Collatz conjecture states that all such sequences eventually enter the trivial…

We give an affirmative answer to a question asked by Faghih-Ahmadi and Hedayatian regarding supercyclic vectors. We show that if $\mathcal X$ is an infinite-dimensional normed linear space and $T$ is a supercyclic operator on $\mathcal X$,…

We discuss the reflexivity of hyperexpansions and their Cauchy dual operators. In particular, we show that any cyclic completely hyperexpansive operator is reflexive. We also establish the reflexivity of the Cauchy dual of an arbitrary…

An operator $T$ acting on a separable complex Hilbert space $H$ is said to be hypercyclic if there exists $f\in H$ such that the orbit $\{T^n f:\ n\in \mathbb{N}\}$ is dense in $H$. Godefroy and Shapiro \cite{GoSha} characterized those…

This work develops an operator-theoretic and dynamical framework inspired by the Riemann--von Mangoldt formula, chaotic dynamics, and random-matrix models for the Riemann zeta function, without attempting to prove the Riemann Hypothesis.…

A bounded linear operator $T$ on a Banach space $X$ is called hypercyclic if there exists a vector $x \in X$ such that $orb{(x,T)}$ is dense in $X$. The Hypercyclicity Criterion is a well-known sufficient condition for an operator to be…
