Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

Let a,b be prime numbers satisfying the Diophantine equation a^3+b^3=(a+b)*(a^2-a*b+b^2)=c^2. Then the second factor a^2-a*b+b^2 is 3*e^2 for some integer e. This sequence tabulates the 'e' values, sorted by magnitude of c.

%N Let a,b be prime numbers satisfying the Diophantine equation a^3+b^3=(a+b)*(a^2-a*b+b^2)=c^2. Then the second factor a^2-a*b+b^2 is 3*e^2 for some integer e. This sequence tabulates the 'e' values, sorted by magnitude of c.

%C For each n let a=A099806[n], b=A099807[n], c/12=A098970. Then a^3+b^3=c^2. The left side factors as (a+b)*(a^2-a*b+b^2). The second factor is 3*e^2 for some integer e. The sequence tabluates the 'e' values. These 'e' values all have the form 3*M^4+N^4, for some pair M,N of relatively prime integers of opposite parity. Remember, a and b are prime numbers.

%e 11^3+37^3=228^2, 11^2-11*37+37^2=3*e^2 with e=19, so 19 is in the sequence.

%Y Cf. A099806, A099807, A098970, A099808.
