Talk:Collatz-like

Definition

FWIW, I think the current definition is a bit too restrictive for the general idea of Collatz-like. Notice Bigfoot where each subfunction can depend upon all the inputs and the Tetration Machine example where the function don't need to be linear/polynomials.

I think of Collatz-like as any situation where the the function is defined piecewise based on parity of the inputs.

That said, I think the linear case is one of the most important and should definitely be documented well! Sligocki (talk) 14:15, 30 May 2025 (UTC)
