Nathanson's conjecture on tiling intervals with two repeated gap lengths
Nathanson's conjecture on tiling intervals with two repeated gap lengths
Let and be positive integers, and let be positive integer gap lengths. A set of integers has gap sequence when its consecutive gaps are these values. Nathanson's conjecture. There is an interval of that can be partitioned into -sets with the same gap sequence where and . This conjecture extends the paper's focus from -sets to arbitrary set sizes and asks for a partition using any prescribed gap sequence with two constant blocks of gaps; the source identifies it as an open question, and no resolution is given here.
