The single-base representation conjecture for sums of exponential terms

About 1 year old · traced to

Let an,cn,b,d\rtinRa_n,c_n,b,d\rtin\mathbb{R} be real numbers, with n∈Nn\in\mathbb{N}. The expression anbn+cndna_nb^n+c_nd^n is considered as a sum of two terms with possibly different bases.

Single-base representation conjecture. For every an,b,cn,d∈Ra_n,b,c_n,d\in\mathbb{R} and n∈Nn\in\mathbb{N}, there exist un,\Greekmath010D∈Ru_n,{\Greekmath 010D}\in\mathbb{R} such that

anbn+cndn=un\Greekmath010Dn,a_nb^n+c_nd^n=u_n{\Greekmath 010D}^n,

for all n∈Nn\in\mathbb{N}.

This conjecture is proposed as a structural statement intended to help describe the space of finite Taylor measures, whose terms have the form an\Greekmath010Dn/n!a_n{\Greekmath 010D}^n/n!. Its resolution is not given in the supplied text.
