The ideal Waring's Theorem stales that every positive integer is a sum of I integral nth powers ≥ 0, where

I = [(3/2)n]+2n-2.

Chowla and the author have considered the corresponding problem for primes so far as the squares and cubes are concerned. It has been shown that all positive integers i ≤ 240,000 are sums of at the most eight squares of primes p ≥ 1. It has also been shown that all positive integers i ≤ 100,000; i ≠ 1301 can be expressed as the sums of at the most twelve cubes of primes; while 1301 requires 13 and no less. In fact it is noticed that integers greater than 8161 require 11 cubes of primes at the most.

Abstract


The ideal Waring's Theorem stales that every positive integer is a sum of I integral nth powers ≥ 0, where

I = [(3/2)n]+2n-2.

Chowla and the author have considered the corresponding problem for primes so far as the squares and cubes are concerned. It has been shown that all positive integers i ≤ 240,000 are sums of at the most eight squares of primes p ≥ 1. It has also been shown that all positive integers i ≤ 100,000; i ≠ 1301 can be expressed as the sums of at the most twelve cubes of primes; while 1301 requires 13 and no less. In fact it is noticed that integers greater than 8161 require 11 cubes of primes at the most.
