Perfect powers in arithmetic progression 1 PERFECT POWERS IN ARITHMETIC PROGRESSION. A NOTE ON THE INHOMOGENEOUS CASE
We show that the abc conjecture implies that the number of terms of any arithmetic progression consisting of almost perfect ”inhomogeneous” powers is bounded, moreover, if the exponents of the powers are all ≥ 4, then the number of such progressions is finite. We derive a similar statement unconditionally, provided that the exponents of the terms in the progression are bounded from above.
متن کاملAlmost Perfect Powers in Consecutive Integers (ii)
Let k 4 be an integer. We find all integers of the form by where l 2 and the greatest prime factor of b is at most k (i.e. nearly a perfect power) such that they are also products of k consecutive integers with two terms omitted.
متن کاملPowers from five terms in arithmetic progression
has only the solution (n, k, b, y, l) = (48, 3, 6, 140, 2) in positive integers n, k, b, y and l, where k, l ≥ 2, P (b) ≤ k and P (y) > k. Here, P (m) denotes the greatest prime factor of the integer m (where, for completeness, we write P (±1) = 1 and P (0) = ∞). Rather surprisingly, no similar conclusion is available for the frequently studied generalization of this equation to products of con...
متن کاملPowers from Products of Consecutive Terms in Arithmetic Progression
A celebrated theorem of Erdős and Selfridge [14] states that the product of consecutive positive integers is never a perfect power. A more recent and equally appealing result is one of Darmon and Merel [11] who proved an old conjecture of Dénes to the effect that there do not exist three consecutive nth powers in arithmetic progression, provided n 3. One common generalization of these problems ...
متن کاملPerfect Matchings and Perfect Powers
In the last decade there have been many results about special families of graphs whose number of perfect matchings is given by perfect or near perfect powers (N. Elkies et al., J. Algebraic Combin. 1 (1992), 111– 132; B.-Y. Yang, Ph.D. thesis, Department of Mathematics, MIT, Cambridge, MA, 1991; J. Propp, New Perspectives in Geometric Combinatorics, Cambridge University Press, 1999). In this pa...
