A097811 Numbers n such that n^3 is the sum of two or more consecutive cubes. 2

COMMENTS

These numbers were found by exhaustive search. The sums are not unique; for n=2856, there are two representations. The Mathematica code prints n, the range of cubes in the sum and the number of cubes in the sum. For instance, 82680^3 equals the sum of 6591 cubes! A faster program was used to check all sums s of consecutive cubes such that s < 2000000^3.

2856^3 is the only cube < 2*10^23 that is a sum in two different ways. 2856^3 = 213^3 +...+ 555^3 = 273^3 +...+ 560^3. - Donovan Johnson, Feb 22 2011

EXAMPLE

20 is in this sequence because 11^3 + 12^3 + 13^3 + 14^3 = 20^3.

MATHEMATICA

g[m0_, m1_] := (m1-m0+1)(m0+m1)(m0^2+m1^2+m1-m0)/4; lst={}; Do[n=g[m0, m1]^(1/3); If[IntegerQ[n], Print[{n, m0, m1, m1-m0+1}]; AppendTo[lst, n]], {m1, 2, 14000}, {m0, m1-1, 1, -1}]; Union[lst]
