Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 207: Is this proven?
Looking at the conclusion written in front of him, Chen Zhou was in a trance for a moment.
Then he took out the collection of wrong questions and turned to the latest page with excitement.
All the erroneous records on the research on the hail hypothesis triggered by the digital pyramid have disappeared.
Most of the thick records of errors accumulated by Chen Zhou also disappeared.
"Is this proven?"
Chen Zhou tried his best to control his emotions, but his hands couldn't help but tremble.
This is a world-class problem!
How could Chen Zhou not be excited? !
Compared with Clifford's previous analysis of the topic, the research difficulty, gold content and academic value of the hail conjecture are much greater.
The two are totally not on the same level.
Taking another look at the draft papers piled on the table, Chen Zhou was instantly filled with a sense of accomplishment.
This hailstone conjecture belongs to both the field of abstract algebra and the field of number theory.
Just like that, it was proven by him, an undergraduate student, in the library of Yanda University.
Noticing something strange about Chen Zhou beside her , Yang Yiyi turned her head slightly to glance at Chen Zhou, then shifted her gaze to the draft paper in front of Chen Zhou.
"...the conclusion of the hail hypothesis is correct..." Yang Yiyi silently repeated the contents on the draft paper in her mind.
For a moment, she didn't react.
But immediately, she looked at Chen Zhou again: "Have you proved it?"
Chen Zhou looked at the female companion beside him and nodded heavily: "Done!"
After getting Chen Zhou's affirmative answer, although Yang Yiyi had made some mental preparations, she was still surprised.
This is truly a world-class problem.
Although she has not studied it, it does not mean that she does not understand it.
After all, Chen Zhou told her all sorts of conjectures every day, and it was hard for her not to know.
It was also because of Chen Zhou’s research that Yang Yiyi looked up information on the hail hypothesis.
The hailstone conjecture is also known as the even-odd-to-odd conjecture, the Kakutani conjecture, the 3n+1 conjecture, the Collatz conjecture, etc.
Since it was proposed, countless mathematicians have tried to solve it.
But they all failed in the end.
To the extent that, when the hail conjecture was introduced as a world problem by the famous scholar Gay, it was classified in the category of "Don't try to solve these problems".
Moreover, more than one mathematician agrees with this view.
Among them is the famous Chinese mathematician Terence Tao, who wrote in his blog: "It is unlikely to be proven by current technology."
Even the great mathematician Ercht believed that the hailstone conjecture was a problem for which "mathematics was not yet mature enough to solve."
In addition, some people have proposed to make the hailstone conjecture the next Fermat problem.
You have to know that it took Fermat's conjecture more than three hundred years from its proposal to its proof.
Over the past three hundred years, whether it was the mathematical god Euler or countless other mathematicians who came one after another, they never succeeded in proving Fermat's conjecture.
It was not until 1995 that it was proved by British mathematician Wiles.
But the hail hypothesis was proposed in 1937, and it has been less than a hundred years since then.
If calculated based on the historical time of Fermat's problem, that means the hailstone conjecture will not be solved until the 23rd century.
But now, the proof of the hail conjecture is right in front of Yang Yiyi!
And the person who completed the proof of the hail conjecture was right next to her!
She witnessed history!
Although the proof of the hail conjecture was still on the draft paper and she was not sure whether the proof was really correct, she believed in Chen Zhou.
Yang Yiyi looked at Chen Zhou with burning eyes. She felt that Chen Zhou was getting more and more handsome!
Chen Zhou stretched. He had been working day and night for more than ten hours these days. He was really tired.
Fortunately, the direction this time was correct and he got the results he wanted.
What is more crucial is the flash of inspiration.
Chen Zhou wondered if he should treat everyone and go out for a meal.
Of course, before that, he must organize the paper first.
Chen Zhou looked at the time and saw that there were still ten minutes before closing time.
It can also serve as a starting point for your paper.
So Chen Zhou turned on his computer and started writing his paper.
Different from Clifford's analysis of this paper, Chen Zhou must pay 100% attention to this paper on the hail conjecture.
Describe every detail of the proof process as clearly as possible.
Give full play to his characteristics of rigorous calculation, careful logic and clear thinking.
[Research on the operational characteristics of the hail conjecture and the proof of the hail conjecture]
【Abstract: This paper puts all positive integers into a digital pyramid, starting from studying the characteristics of all positive integers when performing hailstone conjecture operations. By proving that r= 1→∞∑ar, 1=1 holds, it proves that all odd numbers can be reduced to 1 through a finite number of hailstone conjecture operations. And by using this equivalent conversion, it proves that the hailstone conjecture holds. 】
Then comes the main text.
As for the main text, Chen Zhou was not in a hurry.
Instead, the entire proof process is divided.
They are the number pyramid, two lemmas of number theory, the characteristics of the hailstone conjecture operation, etc.
Thus, all the small parts form a complete paper.
Chen Zhou still needs to sort out the small part of the content.
There was no time today, and by the time he finished all this, the library was about to close.
Walking back to the dormitory with Yang Yiyi.
Chen Zhou keenly noticed that this girl would glance at him every two steps.
Am I particularly handsome today?
Chen Zhou met Yang Yiyi's gaze again and said, "Why do you keep looking at me?"
Yang Yiyi simply stopped peeking and stared at Chen Zhou with a strange look in her eyes: "You are so awesome~"
"Uh..." Chen Zhou laughed dumbly, but he felt very happy in his heart.
After returning to the dormitory, just like the previous few days, Chen Zhou put his backpack on the chair and went to take a shower with the basin and towel.
Zhao Qiqi and the other two noticed Chen Zhou's actions and looked at each other.
Zhao Qiqi couldn't help but say, "Brother Chen has been staying up late these days."
Zhu Mingli nodded: "Indeed. Every time I see him take a shower after coming back, I think he is going to sleep, but in the end, he gets up after lying in bed for less than ten minutes, and then he keeps fighting until midnight."
Li Li also nodded slightly: "I don't know how his research is progressing. At his current pace, I'm really worried that he will die before his research progresses..."
Hearing this, Zhao Qiqi and Zhu Mingli shook their heads at the same time. They didn't know how Chen Zhou's research was progressing, as Chen Zhou had never told them.
But they speculated that little progress would be made.
The hail conjecture is a difficult problem that has stumped world-class mathematicians.
Although Chen Zhou is very good and outstanding, he can also do his own research.
But when it comes to the hail hypothesis, they really don’t think Chen Zhou can achieve any results.
Moreover, Chen Zhou has always demonstrated his efforts in mathematics.
But mathematics is a subject that requires talent.
Especially the world-class problem that Chen Zhou is currently studying, the hail conjecture, requires even more talent.
Chen Zhou didn't know that the three brothers in the dormitory were discussing him. After coming back from a shower, he said hello to them and lay down on the bed.
Zhao Qiqi and the other two looked at each other unconsciously, and they all seemed to think that they had predicted everything.
Just as the three of them were looking at the time, calculating whether Chen Zhou should get up.
Chen Zhou, who was behind the three of them, had fallen asleep.
What was heard was his soft snoring.
