The residue-class formulation of the divisor-set conjecture
The residue-class formulation of the divisor-set conjecture
Let be a positive integer, and let denote the integers in the indicated size range. The residue-class formulation. There exists a set with , and a set with , such that for every and every , the residue belongs to .
This is another general formulation of the desired number-theoretic structure. The paper states that the more general conjectures are not presently known to yield algorithms, and gives no evidence of resolution.
