Arithmetic Dynamics

Arithmetic Dynamics is a branch of mathematics that studies sequences of numbers generated by simple arithmetic operations, often involving polynomials. It explores how these sequences behave, such as whether they converge to a steady value, cycle through a series of numbers, or diverge to infinity. This field connects ideas from number theory and dynamical systems, helping mathematicians understand the properties of numbers and their relationships. By analyzing the dynamics of these sequences, researchers can uncover deeper patterns and insights in the behavior of integers and rational numbers.
