A054222 Consider all integer triples (i,j,k), j,k>0, with binomial(i+2, 3) = binomial(j+2, 3) + k^3, ordered by increasing i; sequence gives j values.

Comments

i values are A054221 and k values are A054223.

Up to a(59), which is as far as computed, there is only one unique pair (j,k) associated with each i. - R. J. Mathar, Nov 10 2006

Example

binomial(7+2, 3) =  84 = binomial(4+2, 3) + 4^3, so 4 is a term;
binomial(8+2, 3) = 120 = binomial(6+2, 3) + 4^3, so 6 is a term.

Mathematica

max = 20000; s = {}; Do[k = ((i*(i+1)*(i+2) - j*(j+1)*(j+2))/6)^(1/3); If[IntegerQ[k], Print[j]; AppendTo[s, {i, j}]], {j, 1, max}, {i, j+1, max}]; Sort[s, #1[[1]] < #2[[1]] &][[All, 2]] (* Jean-François Alcover, Oct 12 2011 *)
