A060465 Value of x of the solution to x^3 + y^3 + z^3 = A060464(n) (numbers not 4 or 5 mod 9) with smallest |z| and smallest |y|, 0 <= |x| <= |y| <= |z|. 5

%C Indexed by A060464.

%C Only primitive solutions where gcd(x,y,z) does not divide n are considered.

%C From the solution A060464(24) = 30 = -283059965^3 - 2218888517^3 + 2220422932^3 (smallest possible magnitudes according to A. Bogomolny), one has a(24) = -283059965. A solution to A060464(25) = 33 remains to be found. Other values for larger n can be found in the first column of the table on Hisanori Mishima's web page. - _M. F. Hasler_, Nov 10 2015

%C In 2019 Brooker found a solution for n = 33 (see A332201 and references there) and later in the same year for n = 42, using the collaborative "Charity Engine". It would be nice to have information on how far it is established that these solutions are the smallest possible. - _M. F. Hasler_, Feb 24 2020
