Permutation conjecture for prime-exponent LCMs of distinct covering systems
Permutation conjecture for prime-exponent LCMs of distinct covering systems
A distinct covering system is a covering system whose moduli are distinct integers greater than . Let , let , , and be positive integers, and let denote the least common multiple of its moduli. For a permutation of with , the permutation conjecture. If there exists a distinct covering system with least modulus and
then there exists a distinct covering system with least modulus and
The conjecture motivates restricting the analysis to exponents ordered as . The supplied text gives no resolution status.
