the unproved claim that repeatedly halving even numbers and tripling odd numbers plus one always reaches 1 from any positive starting integer.

In number theory, Collatz conjecture refers to the unproved claim that repeatedly halving even numbers and tripling odd numbers plus one always reaches 1 from any positive starting integer. This meaning comes from Lagarias (1985) in The American Mathematical Monthly.[1]
