Abstract

In 1937,German mathematician L.Collatz proposed a conjeture:for any positive integer,if it is even,divide it by 2;if it is odd,multiply it by 3 and 1 to get an even number;keep going on and on, the final result is 1.This paper gives a sequence classification of odd numbers,and gives 1-1 mapping of odd numbers and odd number sequences,and uses these results to give a proof of this conjecture.

Keywords
