Title: Exploring Collatz Dynamics with Human-LLM Collaboration

Abstract:
arXiv:2603.11066v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We develop a structural and quantitative framework for analyzing the Collatz map through modular dynamics, valuation statistics, and combinatorial decomposition of trajectories into bursts and gaps. We establish several exact and asymptotic results, including an affine scrambling structure for odd-to-odd dynamics, structural decay of residue information, and a quantitative bound on the per-orbit contribution of expanding primitive familie
