Finiteness conjecture for zero terms in the smallest-representation sequence
Finiteness conjecture for zero terms in the smallest-representation sequence
Let denote the -th prime. For each , let be the smallest integer such that is represented by , and set if no such exists. The sequence begins
Finiteness conjecture. The sequence contains only finitely many zero terms. This asserts that is represented by for some for all but finitely many primes .
