1. For an integer v > 1, we define P(v) to be the greatest prime factor of v and we write P(1) = 1. Let m ≥ 0 and k ≥ 2 be integers. Let d1, …, dt with t ≥ 2 be distinct integers in the interval [1, k]. For integers l ≥ 2, y > 0 and b > 0 with P(b) ≤ k, we consider the equation
Put
so that ½ < vt ≤ ¾. If α > 1 and kα < m ≤ kl, then equation (1) implies that
for 1 ≤ i ≤ t and hence
