Let $p$ be an odd prime, and consider the map $H_{p}$ which sends an integer $x$ to either $\frac{x}{2}$ or $\frac{px+1}{2}$ depending on whether $x$ is even or odd. The values at $x=0$ of arbitrary composition sequences of the maps $\frac{x}{2}$ and $\frac{px+1}{2}$ can be parameterized over the $2$-adic integers ($\mathbb{Z}_{2}$) leading to a continuous function from $\mathbb{Z}_2$ to $\mathbb{Z}_p$ which the author calls the numen of $H_{p}$, denoted $\chi_p$; the $p=3$ case turns out to be…

Abstract Define the Collatz map ${\operatorname {Col}} \colon \mathbb {N}+1 \to \mathbb {N}+1$ on the positive integers $\mathbb {N}+1 = \{1,2,3,\dots \}$ by setting ${\operatorname {Col}}(N)$

### Conservation of Singularities in Functional Equations Associated to Collatz-Type Dynamical Systems; or, Dreamcatchers for Hydra Maps

It is known that the Collatz Conjecture (and the study of similar maps, here called "Hydra maps") can be stated in terms of solution sets of functional equations; or, equivalently, the fixed points

### Parity Sequences of the 3x+1 Map on the 2-adic Integers and Euclidean Embedding

This paper considers the one-to-one correspondence between a 2-adic integer and its parity sequence under iteration of the so-called "3x+1" map and proves a new formula for the inverse transform, which establishes affine self-similarity by using functional equations.
