Zhao–Chen–Hong conjecture on power GCD–LCM divisibility and condition C
Let be a gcd-closed set, meaning that the gcd of any two elements of belongs to . For with , say that satisfies condition if, for every pair of distinct elements ,
The set satisfies condition if every with does so. Let be a positive integer, and let and denote the power GCD and power LCM matrices, respectively.
Zhao–Chen–Hong conjecture. If , then is divisible by in if and only if satisfies condition .
The source records that the case has been proved, leaving the range at least as the unresolved part of the divisibility problem. This conjecture proposes a necessary and sufficient condition in that remaining range.
