Dąbrowski's conjecture on smooth numbers of the form x^2-1
Dąbrowski's conjecture on smooth numbers of the form x^2-1
Let be the first primes. For positive integers and nonnegative integers , consider the Diophantine equation
Dąbrowski's conjecture. The equation has exactly solutions in positive integers, namely the solutions listed in the statement: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; and .
This conjecture asks for a complete determination of the solutions whose value has no prime factors beyond the first primes. The source attributes the formulation to Dąbrowski; the provided text gives no evidence that the conjecture has been proved or disproved.
