I feel it is related to Collatz, but I cannot tell if it is equivalent to Collatz. I called it "complementary of the Collatz" because here we need to show that the produced sequence takes ALL odd numbers (or ALL $\pm 1$ (mod $6$) numbers in the second version), while for the "original" Collatz we want the sequence to take only finitely many distinct values. | |
