TLDR
In this article, the authors extended T to a mapping of polyadic numbers and constructed finitely many ergodic Borel measures on the polyadic number Ẑ which heuristically explain the limiting frequencies in congruence classes, observed for integer trajectories.
Abstract
1. Abstract. This paper is a continuation of a recent paper [2], in which the authors studied some Markov matrices arising from a mapping T : Z → Z, which generalizes the famous 3x + 1 mapping of Collatz. We extended T to a mapping of the polyadic numbers Ẑ and construct finitely many ergodic Borel measures on Ẑ which heuristically explain the limiting frequencies in congruence classes, observed for integer trajectories.

The 3x+1 Problem: An Annotated Bibliography, II (2000-2009)

TL;DR: The 3x+1 conjecture as mentioned in this paper states that for every positive integer n>1, the forward orbit of n includes the integer 1, and the 3x + 1 conjecture remains unsolved.

TL;DR: The 3x+1 Conjecture as mentioned in this paper states that for every positive integer n > 1, the forward orbit of n under iteration by T includes the integer 1. At present, the problem remains unsolved.

Functional Equations Connected With The Collatz Problem

TL;DR: In this paper, some aspects of the famous 3n + 1 problem, due to L. Coilatz, are studied, and two equivalent analytic versions, concerning the rational character of some generating functions, and the set of solutions of a linear functional equation, respectively.
