How would one go about solving this conjecture concerning exponential Diophantine equations?
I’ve been working on the Collatz Conjecture, and I believe I’ve reduced it to a more tractable problem. Unless there are some errors I’ve overlooked, I have managed to reduce the Collatz Conjecture to ...

Collatz conjecture in all its variants
There are all kinds of execution variants to the collatz conjecture for when hitting an odd number:
$3n+1$ or $3n+3^a$ or $1.5n + 0.5$ or $1.5n + 1.5$... . The assumption is: proving any of them will ...

Arithmetic progressions in stopping time of Collatz sequences
Inspired by the question here, we did a few more simulations of numbers of some specific forms and noticed a pattern.
We consider the original $3n+1$ transform where we divide by $2$ if it's even and ...

Density of the Klarner-Rado Sequence
Consider the Klarner-Rado sequence OEIS A005658 defined by the rule: the sequence starts with 1, and if it contains $n$ it also contains $2n$, $3n+2$ and $6n+3$. According to R. Guy's popular article,...
