On an additive problem of unlike powers in short intervals

Qingqing Zhang (2022)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We prove that almost all positive even integers n can be represented as p 2 2 + p 3 3 + p 4 4 + p 5 5 with | p k k - 1 4 N | N 1 - 1 / 54 + ε for 2 k 5 . As a consequence, we show that each sufficiently large odd integer N can be written as p 1 + p 2 2 + p 3 3 + p 4 4 + p 5 5 with | p k k - 1 5 N | N 1 - 1 / 54 + ε for 1 k 5 .

On Hilbert’s solution of Waring’s problem

Paul Pollack (2011)

Open Mathematics

In 1909, Hilbert proved that for each fixed k, there is a number g with the following property: Every integer N ≥ 0 has a representation in the form N = x 1k + x 2k + … + x gk, where the x i are nonnegative integers. This resolved a conjecture of Edward Waring from 1770. Hilbert’s proof is somewhat unsatisfying, in that no method is given for finding a value of g corresponding to a given k. In his doctoral thesis, Rieger showed that by a suitable modification of Hilbert’s proof, one can give explicit...
