Distinct Values of a Proto-logarithmic Function
Consider the values of
Generally, the function
for some integers or-
for some integers
We call a function
if any integers fulfilling 1. or 2. can be found- and
if no integers fulfilling 1. or 2. can be found.
Let
For example,
Find
Note: According to the four exponentials conjecture the function
While this conjecture is yet unproven in general,
Write-up coming later
The complete problem is available here. An approach, code, and answer will be added later.
