Consider the recursive relation generating a new positive integer $n_{\ell +1}$ from the positive integer $n_{\ell }$ according to the following simple rules: if the integer $n_{\ell }$ is odd, $n_{\ell +1}=3n_{\ell }+1$; if the integer…
The dynamics of the second order rational difference equation $\displaystyle{z_{n+1}=\frac{\alpha + \alpha z_{n}+\beta z_{n-1}}{1+z_{n}}}$ with complex parameters $\alpha$, $\beta$ and arbitrary complex initial conditions is investigated.…
The 3X+1 function T(n) is (3n+1)/2 if n is odd and n/2 if n is even. The total stopping time \sigma_\infty (n) for a positive integer n is the number of iterations of the 3x+1 function to reach 1 starting from n, and is \infty if 1 is never…
Collatz conjecture is generalized to $3n+3^k$ ($k\in N$). Operating as usual, every sequence seems to reach $3^k$ and end up in the loop $3^k, 4.3^k, 2.3^k,3^k$. The usual $3n+1$ conjecture is recovered for $k=0$. For $k>0$, we noticed the…
We ask for a given system of polynomials f_1,...,f_n and f over the complex numbers when there exist continuous functions q_1,...,q_n such that q_1 f_1+...+q_n f_n = f. This condition defines the continuous closure of an ideal. We give…
We present a first example of an integrable (3+1)-dimensional dispersionless system with nonisospectral Lax pair involving algebraic, rather than rational, dependence on the spectral parameter, thus showing that the class of integrable…
We study the dynamical properties of a broad class of high-dimensional random dynamical systems exhibiting chaotic as well as fixed point and periodic attractors. We consider cases in which attractors can co-exists in some regions of the…
In this article we present set of infinite natural numbers which satisfies the conjecture $3n+1$.
One unusual property of dynamic systems, whose state is characterized by a set of scalar dynamic variables satisfying a system of differential equations of a general form, is considered. This property is related to the behavior of equations…
We give characterizations of unital uniform topological algebras and saturated locally multiplicatively convex algebras by means of multiplicative linear functionals. Some automatic continuity theorems in advertibly complete uniform…
This paper proposes a formula expression for the well-known Collatz conjecture (or 3x+1 problem), which can pinpoint all the growth points in the orbits of the Collatz map for any natural numbers. The Collatz map $Col: \mathcal{N}+1…
We show that we can construct a model in 3+1 dimensions where only composite scalars take place in physical processes as incoming and outgoing particles, whereas constituent spinors only act as intermediary particles. Hence while the…
In 2007, A.I.Aptekarev and his collaborators discovered a sequence of rational approximations to Euler's constant $\gamma$ defined by a linear recurrence. In this paper, we generalize this result and present an explicit construction of…
This essay advocates the view that any problem that has a meaningful empirical content, can be formulated in constructive, more definitely, finite terms. We consider combinatorial models of dynamical systems and approaches to statistical…
We produce an infinite family of transcendental numbers which, when raised to their own power, become rational. We extend the method, to investigate positive rational solutions to the equation $x^x = \alpha$, where $\alpha$ is a fixed…
We study the existence of various sign and value patterns in sequences defined by multiplicative functions or related objects. For any set $A$ whose indicator function is 'approximately multiplicative' and uniformly distributed on short…
We derive a system with one degree of freedom that models a class of dynamical systems with strange attractors in three dimensions. This system retains all the characteristics of chaotic attractors and is expressed by a second-order…
We give a generalization of Collatz conjecture or 3n+1 problem on 2-adic completion of Q. A isometric of $Q_2$ provides information on the average behavior of the firsts terms of the sequence according to the class of $u_0$ modulo $2^m$. A…
An alternative computational approach to the Collatz (3n+1) conjecture is presented that may be theoretically capable of confirming the conjecture.
We report a class of symmetry-intergable third-order evolution equations in 1+1 dimensions under the condition that the equations admit a second-order recursion operator that contains an adjoint symmetry (integrating factor) of order six.…
