Binary Representation of the Collatz Conjecture

Image
up vote 0 down vote favorite What is the benefit of looking at the binary representation of the collatz conjecture. I know that it makes the computation easier because there is really one operation involved which is multiplying by 3. And then we simply shift the resulting binary number to the right if it hast Least significant bit (lsm) = 0 Does this offer a faster algorithm (complexity wise) ? I know that the normal algorithm for collatz doesn't have an upper bound using Big Oh notation. (It's not analysable). algorithms binary conjectures share | cite | improve this question asked Apr 8 '15 at 8:12 alkabary ...
