In mathematics and statistics, sums of powers occur in a number of contexts: *Sums of squares arise in many contexts. *Faulhaber's formula expresses as a polynomial in ''n''. *Fermat's right triangle theorem states that there is no solution in positive integers for *Fermat's Last Theorem states that is impossible in positive integers with ''k''>2. *The equation of a superellipse is . The squircle is the case . *Euler's sum of powers conjecture (disproved) concerns situations in which the sum of ''n'' integers, each a ''k''th power of an integer, equals another ''k''th power. *The Fermat-Catalan conjecture asks whether there are an infinitude of examples in which the sum of two coprime integers, each a power of an integer, with the powers not necessarily equal, can equal another integer that is a power, with the reciprocals of the three powers summing to less than 1. *Beal's conjecture concerns the question of whether the sum of two coprime integers, each a power greater than 2 of an integer, with the powers not necessarily equal, can equal another integer that is a power greater than 2. *The Jacobi–Madden equation is in integers. *The Prouhet–Tarry–Escott problem considers sums of two sets of ''k''th powers of integers that are equal for multiple values of ''k''. *A taxicab number is the smallest integer that can be expressed as a sum of two positive third powers in ''n'' distinct ways. *The Riemann zeta function is the sum of the reciprocals of the positive integers each raised to the power ''s'', where ''s'' is a complex number whose real part is greater than 1. *The Lander, Parkin, and Selfridge conjecture concerns the minimal value of ''m'' + ''n'' in *Waring's problem asks whether for every natural number k there exists an associated positive integer ''s'' such that every natural number is the sum of at most ''s k''th powers of natural numbers. *The successive powers of the golden ratio ''φ'' obey the Fibonacci recurrence: :: *Newton's identities express the sum of the ''k''th powers of all the roots of a polynomial in terms of the coefficients in the polynomial. *The sum of cubes of numbers in arithmetic progression is sometimes another cube. *The Fermat cubic, in which the sum of three cubes equals another cube, has a general solution. *The power sum symmetric polynomial is a building block for symmetric polynomials. *The sum of the reciprocals of all perfect powers including duplicates (but not including 1) equals 1. 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「Sums of powers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
