Original Abstract

We show an iterated function of which iterates oscillate wildly and grow at a dizzying pace. We conjecture that the orbit of arbitrary positive integer always returns to 1, as in the case of the Collatz function. The conjecture is supported by a heuristic argument and computational results.
