Re: Prime sum of three term arithmetic progression?
It is lucky that you have not. It is a dilly.

Re: Prime sum of three term arithmetic progression?
It is a type of problem that occurs frequently and I have never really solved one, a simultaneous gf!!!!!

Re: Prime sum of three term arithmetic progression?
Yep, 20 of them for that problem!

Re: Prime sum of three term arithmetic progression?
That is a good question. The problem leads to 20 diophantine equations. Every diophantine equation of the linear type can be represented by a gf. Now they have to be solved in relation to each other to get the number of solutions for the entire system.

Re: Prime sum of three term arithmetic progression?
I am looking for a way to represent the whole thing with one multivariate gf.

I have not been having much luck with any approach at the moment.

Hi stefy,
