The unbounded multiplicity conjecture for differences of tetrahedral numbers
The unbounded multiplicity conjecture for differences of tetrahedral numbers
Let be a positive integer. A positive integer solution of the equation below is a pair of positive integers.
Unbounded multiplicity conjecture. For each there is such that
has at least positive integer solutions.
This conjecture arises from computational examples showing that fixed differences can have several representations as differences of binomial coefficients. It predicts that the number of such representations is unbounded, but no proof or disproof is given here.
