Abstract

In this note we remark that while much of the theory of a recent paper of Matthews and Watts on mappings T: Z → Z generalizing the Syracuse algorithm also goes over to mappings T: Fq[x] → Fq[x], the conjectural picture is not as clear for polynomials. We exhibit two divergent trajectories which possess an unexpected regularity, and which do not obey a certain expected uniformity of distribution.
