The Undecidability of the Generalized Collatz Problem
The Collatz problem, widely known as the 3x + 1 problem, asks whether or not a certain simple iterative process halts on all inputs. We build on earlier work by J. H. Conway, and show that a natural generalization of the Collatz problem is recursively undecidable.
