Density conjecture for sums of distinct powers
Density conjecture for sums of distinct powers
Let and let be a sequence of integers at least . For a sequence of positive integers, write
and let be the sequence of powers with and .
Density conjecture for sums of distinct powers. If every pair satisfies and
\nthen has positive lower asymptotic density.
The question follows a result constructing complete power sequences even when the reciprocal sum is arbitrarily small. The conjectured positive-density conclusion is not established in the source.
