A contribution to infinite disjoint covering systems
Let the collection of arithmetic sequences be a disjoint covering system of the integers. We prove that if for some primes and integers , then there is a such that . We conjecture that the divisibility result holds for all moduli. A disjoint covering system is called saturated if the sum of the reciprocals of the moduli is equal to . The above conjecture holds for saturated systems with such that the product of its prime factors is at most .
