Auil's conjecture that the iterative sequence enumerates the Möbius numbers
Auil's conjecture that the iterative sequence enumerates the Möbius numbers
Let be the set of integers produced by the paper's iterative construction, and let
be the set of square-free, or Möbius, numbers. Auil's enumeration conjecture. The iterative construction produces every Möbius number and no others:
The initial terms displayed in the source agree with the square-free numbers, and numerical evidence is reported in support of the conjecture. Its general validity remains unresolved.
