Maximal gcd conjecture for Lucas sequences
Maximal gcd conjecture for Lucas sequences
Let be a Lucas sequence, and let denote the gcd function associated with it. Assume that . Then the maximal gcd conjecture asserts that
The conjecture is motivated by the expected abundance of positive integers dividing , analogous to the distribution of Carmichael numbers; such integers would force the maximum to be asymptotic to .
