Overview

Numerous sequences in the OEIS are related to sums of the form a^m + b^m + c^m .... Such sums occur in a series of famous number-theoretical problems, among them Fermat's 4n+1 theorem, Euler's conjecture, Lagrange's four-square theorem, Waring's problem etc. (cf. the links section, below).

Groups of sequences for like powers

The sums can be grouped in different categories:

  • an exact number k of summands is required
  • there may be at most k summands
  • the summands must all be different

The individual tables below list the OEIS sequences within these categories. When the cursor is moved over a sequence number, the name of the sequence is shown.
