Let a⩾3 be an odd integer, and let ⟨a,a+2⟩ denote the numerical semigroup generated by a and a+2. Let (un)n⩾1 be the recursive sequence given in the paper's defining recurrence, and let 2r(⟨a,a+2⟩) denote the least square integer that does not belong to this semigroup. Square Frobenius number conjecture. If a=(2b+1)2 for an integer b⩾1, then
The preceding proposition establishes the corresponding formula when neither generator is a square, while the displayed cases concern the remaining square-generator situations. The formulas of the preceding conjecture were verified computationally for all integers a⩾2 up to 106, but the conjecture itself is not established in the supplied text.
