Asymptotic for the Pell-family consecutive powerful-number progressions
Let be the set of positive integers for which some makes a three-term arithmetic progression of consecutive powerful numbers. Let consist of those for which the corresponding progression contains exactly two squares. For the Pell-family progressions, write
Here . Pell-family asymptotic conjecture. The number of such progressions with all terms in is
where
This is a heuristic conjecture based on the recurrence and local-density considerations; no proof of the stated asymptotic is given.
