Abstract

In 1937,German mathematician L.Collatz proposed the following conjeture:for any positive integer,if it is even,divide it by 2,if it is odd,multiply it by 3 and add 1 to get an even number.Continuing with the above rule, the final result will be 1.This paper gives a proof of this conjecture.
