"Records of minima" means values A179386(n)=A154333(x) such that A154333(x') > A154333(x) for all x' > x, or equivalently A181138(y) such that A181138(y') > A181138(y) for all y' > y. See the main entry A179386 for all further considerations. - M. F. Hasler, Sep 30 2013
Theorem (Artur Jasinski):
For any positive number x >= A179387(n), the distance between the cube of x and the square of any y (with x<>n^2 and y<>n^3) can't be less than A179386(n).
Proof: Because number of integral points of each Mordell elliptic curve of the form x^3-y^2 = k is finite and completely computable there can't exist any such x (or the related y).
