Logarithmic growth conjecture for all classes of consecutive powerful-number progressions
Let be the set of positive integers for which the corresponding triple is a three-term arithmetic progression of consecutive powerful numbers. Partition it as
where consists of those for which the triple contains exactly squares. Logarithmic-growth conjecture. For every ,
In particular,
The conjecture is motivated by heuristic probability estimates for the three classes and remains unproved.
