Counting the Collatz numbers
Abstract
The counting function for the numbers satisfying the Collatz conjecture is studied. A related exponential congruence equation is investigated, yielding a method to construct its solutions from free variables, and enabling us to find at least x0.3227 Collatz numbers in the interval [1,x]. The historical record is 0.84.
