A Proof for the Collatz Conjecture

arXiv:2209.13541

Abstract

It is well known that the following Collatz Conjecture is one of the unsolved problems in mathematics. Collatz Conjecture: For any positive integer , the following recursive algorithm will convergent to 1 by a finite number of steps. A) If is an even number then , B) If is an odd number then . This paper proposes a proof for the Collatz Conjecture by the elementary mathematical induction.
