Proof of the Collatz Conjecture

Abstract

Hrant A. Gevorgyan*

Unsolved problems in mathematics are attractive primarily because for many decades they remained mysteries for all of humanity. The uniqueness of these problems also lies in the fact that many of them are debunked by unknown amateur mathematicians, although they were once formulated by outstanding professional mathematicians. It is quite possible that this is precisely how the remarkable Collatz conjecture is debunked
