Lothar Collatz (German: [ˈkɔlaʦ]; July 6, 1910 – September 26, 1990) was a German mathematician, born in Arnsberg, Westphalia.
The "3x + 1" problem is also known as the Collatz conjecture, named after him and still unsolved. The Collatz–Wielandt formula for the Perron–Frobenius eigenvalue of a positive square matrix was also named after him.
Collatz's 1957 paper with Ulrich Sinogowitz,[1] who had been killed in the bombing of Darmstadt in World War II,[2] founded the field of spectral graph theory.
