Extract

Let r, s be two fixed integers greater than 1. A positive integer will be called r-free if it is not divisible by the rth power of any prime.

In a series of papers ((l)–(5)) Evelyn and Linfoot considered the problem of determining an asymptotic formula for the number Qr, s(n) of representations of a large positive integer n as the sum of s r-free integers; for s ≥ 4 their results were subsequently sharpened by Barham and Estermann(6).
