A075791 - OEIS

A075791

If n can be written in the form r^i-s^j (see A074981), where r,s,i,j are integers with r>0, s>0, i>1, j>1 choose the representation with smallest r^i (in case of ties, minimize i and j); or if n is not of this form set r=s=i=j=0; sequence gives values of j.

COMMENTS

The zeros are only conjectures (cf. A074981).

Use 4^2 rather than 2^4, etc.

LINKS
