I proved in my article that there is a sequence related to the Collatz conjecture which can help to define a set of numbers which has the cardinal of the set of even numbers. How do you see the usefulness of this sequence? Don't you see that it is a method to calculate (2p-1)/3 without any divisions? What about the usefulness of the demonstrated formulas of 2p-2 ?
I will wait for your opinions after reading the demonstration in my article:
