On the behavior of a variant of Hofstadter's -sequence.
We propose two conjectures which imply the Collatz conjecture. We give a numerical evidence for the second conjecture.
In this study, we determine when the Diophantine equation has an infinite number of positive integer solutions and for Moreover, we give all positive integer solutions of the same equation for in terms of generalized Fibonacci sequence. Lastly, we formulate a conjecture related to the Diophantine equation .
Romanoff (1934) showed that integers that are the sum of a prime and a power of 2 have positive lower asymptotic density in the positive integers. We adapt his method by showing more generally the existence of a positive lower asymptotic density for integers that are the sum of a prime and a term of a given nonconstant nondegenerate integral linear recurrence with separable characteristic polynomial.
