On Polynomials That Are Sums of Two Cubes

چکیده
It is proved that, if F (x) be a cubic polynomial with integral coefficients having the property that F (n) is equal to a sum of two positive integral cubes for all sufficiently large integers n, then F (x) is identically the sum of two cubes of linear polynomials with integer coefficients that are positive for sufficiently large x. A similar result is proved in the case where F (n) is merely assumed to be a sum of two integral cubes of either sign. It is deduced that analogous propositions are true for cubic polynomials F (x0, . . . , xr) in more than one indeterminate.

Numerical Results for Waring ' s Problem in GF [ í ? , x ]
Let p be a prime and let K and Ai denote polynomials whose coefficients are elements of the finite field with p elements. Problems concerning the expression of an arbitrary polynomial K as sums of a small number of squares or cubes of polynomials Ai are discussed. In the problems treated the degrees of the A¡ are restricted to be as small as possible. In particular, it is shown that at least fi...
متن کاملPerfect Powers That Are Sums of Consecutive Cubes
Euler noted the relation 63= 33+43+53 and asked for other instances of cubes that are sums of consecutive cubes. Similar problems have been studied by Cunningham, Catalan, Gennochi, Lucas, Pagliani, Cassels, Uchiyama, Stroeker and Zhongfeng Zhang. In particular, Stroeker determined all squares that can be written as a sum of at most 50 consecutive cubes. We generalize Stroeker’s work by determi...
متن کاملOn powers that are sums of consecutive like powers
1 Background The problem of cubes that are sums of consecutive cubes goes back to Euler ([10] art. 249) who noted the remarkable relation 33 + 43 + 53 = 63. Similar problems were considered by several mathematicians during the nineteenth and early twentieth century as surveyed in Dickson’sHistory of the Theory of Numbers ([7] p. 582–588). These questions are still of interest today. For example...
متن کاملSums of squares, sums of cubes, and modern number theory
These are notes which grew out of a talk for general math graduate students with the aim of starting from the questions “Which numbers are sums of two squares?” and “Which numbers are sums of two cubes?” and going on a tour of many central topics in modern number theory. In the notes, I discuss composition laws, class groups, L-functions, modular forms, and elliptic curves, ending with the Birc...
متن کاملCorrelation Estimates for Sums of Three Cubes
We establish estimates for linear correlation sums involving sums of three positive integral cubes. Under appropriate conditions, the underlying methods permit us to establish the solubility of systems of homogeneous linear equations in sums of three positive cubes whenever these systems have more than twice as many variables as equations.
