Typically, Collatz (or the 3x+1 problem) only applies to integer values for x, but what about non-integer x values? It has been shown that the number of steps to 1 can be computed for some non-integers, but are there more non-integers that also work?

Extending Collatz to Non-Integers
Typically, Collatz (or the 3x+1 problem) only applies to integer values for x, but what about non-integer values? Does Collatz even make sense for non-integers? Find out below.
The Collatz Conjecture: A Simple Counterargument
Recently, a proof of the collatz conjecture was presented. While the proof seems convincing, it does contain a critical flaw.
