Abstract: The present work focuses on the study of the renowned Collatz conjecture, also known as the $3x +1$ problem. The distinguished analysis approach lies on the dynamics of an iterative map in binary form. A new estimation of the enlargement of iterated numbers is given. Within the associated iterative map, characteristic periods for periodic orbits are identified.
