A Boolean polynomial operator for the Collatz $3n+1$ problem
Mario DeFranco
Source abstract
We define a reformulation of the Collatz $3n+1$ map which allows us to express it as an operator on the set of sequences of Boolean polynomials. We express this operator in terms of certain carry sequences that arise from addition in base-2, and then we simplify them and find explicit formulas for them.
