Number inequality in the Collatz equation and the solution of the equation
In this study, the trajectory behavior of odd numbers in the Collatz process is algebraically investigated using $k$ odd operations and $n$ even operations. The dependency relationship between parameters $k$ and $n$ and the resulting parity contradiction are examined through the inequality established for numbers assumed to be locked at a stop other than $1$.
