Lemma nice criterion for non-intersecting integers
Lemma nice criterion for non-intersecting integers
Let be an integer with at least one prime divisor, and let be the smallest prime that divides . Let non-intersecting mean that the relevant congruence classes with moduli given by the divisors of do not form an intersecting covering system. If
has fewer than distinct prime divisors, then is non-intersecting.
Lemma nice criterion. If is the smallest prime divisor of and has fewer than distinct prime divisors, then is non-intersecting.
This is the sufficient condition attributed in the surrounding discussion to Lemma; the paper then conjectures that the same condition is also necessary. No resolution is supplied in the given text.
