COMMENTS

In a variant of the ABC conjecture (see A120498) we look at triples (A,B,C) restricted to A+B=C, gcd(A,B)=1, and at the merit function L(A,B,C)=log(C)/log(rad(A*B*C)), where rad() is the squarefree kernel A007947, as usual. Watching for records in L() as C runs through the integers generates A147302. In this sequence here, we admit only the C of the sequence A000079, which avoids some early larger records that would be created by unrestricted C, and leads to a slower increase of the L-values.
If the ABC conjecture is true this sequence is finite.
The associated numbers B for this case are A147638, the associated A are A147640.

EXAMPLE
|
The case C=2 does not create a valid (A,B,C) triple, so C=4 is the first case, which sets a first record L=0.7737 with (A,B,C)=(1,3,4). The next admitted case, C=8, sets a new record L=0.7879 with (A,B,C)=(1,7,8), and so do (A,B,C)=(1,15,16) with L=0.8151. For C=32, we consider the largest L possible for A<B<C, which is (A,B,C)=(5,27,32) with L=1.0189. The value L=0.839 from (A,B,C)=(1,31,32) at the same C is smaller and discarded.
