A New Proof of Rational Cycles for Collatz-Like Functions Using a Coprime Condition

In this paper, we study the bounded trajectories of Collatz-like functions. Fix α,β∈Z>0 so that α and β are coprime. Let k¯=k1,…,kβ−1 so that for each 1≤i≤β−1, ki∈Z>0, ki is coprime to α and β, and ki≡i mod β. We define the function Cα,β,k¯:Z>0⟶Z>0 and the sequence n,Cα,β,k¯n,Cα,β,k¯2n,⋯...
