In mathematics, a Størmer number or arc-cotangent irreducible number, named after Carl Størmer, is a positive integer ''n'' for which the greatest prime factor of (''n''2 + 1) meets or exceeds 2''n''. The first few Størmer numbers are: : 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 19, 20, ... . J. Todd proved that this sequence is neither finite nor cofinite. The Størmer numbers arise in connection with the problem of representing the Gregory numbers (arctangents of rational numbers) as sums of Gregory numbers for integers (arctangents of unit fractions). The Gregory number may be decomposed by repeatedly multiplying the Gaussian integer by numbers of the form , in order to cancel prime factors ''p'' from the imaginary part; here is chosen to be a Størmer number such that is divisible by .〔Conway & Guy (1996): 245, ¶ 3〕 ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Størmer number」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
