Summary

Directed graph showing the orbits of all the odd numbers less than 300 under the Collatz map.

Created with Graphviz, with the help of this Python program:

dotfile = file('collatz-graph.dot', 'w')

limit = 300

def f(n):
  while n % 2 == 0: # divide by 2 until it's odd
    n /= 2
  n = 3*n + 1
  while n % 2 == 0:
    n /= 2
  return n

explored = set([1])

dotfile.write('digraph {\n')

for n in range(3, limit, 2): # odd numbers
  while n not in explored:
    dotfile.write(str(n) + ' -> ')
    explored.add(n)
    n = f(n)
  dotfile.write(str(n) + ';\n')

dotfile.write('}\n')
