Abstract

This article presents a new multiplication algorithm based on the Collatz function. Assuming the validity of the Collatz conjecture, the time complexity of multiplying two n-digit numbers is O(kn), where the k is the number of odd steps in the Collatz trajectory of the first multiplicand. Most likely, the algorithm is only of theoretical interest.
