八的三角定理与二次多项式表示

The triangular theorem of eight and representation by quadratic polynomials

Wieb Bosma, Ben Kane

摘要:

本文研究了整数作为三角数之和的可表示性,其中第$n$个三角数由$T_n = n(n + 1)/2$给出.特别地,我们证明了对于固定的正整数$b_1, b_2,..., b_k$,$f(x_1,x_2,..., x_k) = b_1 T_{x_1} +...+ b_k T_{x_k}$表示每个非负整数当且仅当它表示1,2,4,5和8。此外,如果“交叉项”是允许在$f$,我们表明,没有有限的正整数集可以发挥类似的作用,反过来又表明,没有总括有限性定理,概括的声明从正定二次型完全正二次多项式。

英文摘要:

We investigate here the representability of integers as sums of triangular numbers, where the $n$-th triangular number is given by $T_n = n(n + 1)/2$. In particular, we show that $f(x_1,x_2,..., x_k) = b_1 T_{x_1} +...+ b_k T_{x_k}$, for fixed positive integers $b_1, b_2,..., b_k$, represents every nonnegative integer if and only if it represents 1, 2, 4, 5, and 8. Moreover, if `cross-terms' are allowed in $f$, we show that no finite set of positive integers can play an analogous role, in turn showing that there is no overarching finiteness theorem which generalizes the statement from positive definite quadratic forms to totally positive quadratic polynomials.
