The subsequent note provides an analysis of some cycling behaviour with respect to a very simple doubling rule in combination with subtraction.
The subsequent note provides an analysis of some cycling behaviour with respect to a very simple doubling rule in combination with subtraction.
Specifically this study constitutes a continuation of the investigation of Schauerhuber (2025), where the number of steps required to arrive at cycles for a wide spectrum of initial input values was the main focus of interest.
The present analysis in contrast will focus on the cycles themselves.
After a brief introduction of the underlying doubling algorithm and the method applied for this note, the results of the study will be addressed.
Finally the generated R code - for the purpose of this investigation - will be presented.
