Waring conjecture for middle-1α\frac{1}{\alpha} Cantor sets

About 5 years old · traced to

Let α>1\alpha>1, set

r=12(1−1α),r=\frac12\left(1-\frac1\alpha\right),

and let CαC_\alpha be the middle-1α\frac1\alpha Cantor set. For any real number m≥1m\geq1, define the integer

k=⌈(1r−1)m⌉.k=\left\lceil\left(\frac1r-1\right)^m\right\rceil.

Waring conjecture for CαC_\alpha.

[0,k]={x1m+x2m+⋯+xkm:xj∈Cα, 1≤j≤k}.[0,k]=\left\{x_1^m+x_2^m+\cdots+x_k^m:x_j\in C_\alpha,\ 1\leq j\leq k\right\}.

This conjecture extends the paper's Waring-type representation problem from the Cantor ternary and middle-half cases to general middle-1α\frac1\alpha Cantor sets. The source does not state a resolution.
