On products from blocks of consecutive odd integers

Authors: Saranya G. Nair and Tarlok N. Shorey

Abstract:

We consider an equation for a question analogous to a conjecture of Hickerson for consecutive positive odd integers and give effective bounds for the solution of the equation under the explicit $abc$ conjecture. This is obtained by using estimates on lower bounds of the greatest prime factor of consecutive positive odd integers.

Keywords: abc conjecture, Diophantine equation, primes
