Comments

Distance d is equal to 0 when x = k^2 and y = k^7.

For d values see A179784.

For y values see A179786.

Conjecture (Artur Jasinski): For any positive number x >= A179785(n), the distance d between the seventh power of x and the square of any y (such that x <> k^2 and y <> k^7) can't be less than A179784(n).
