%N Solutions z of the Diophantine equation x^3 + y^3 = 6z^3.

%C A. Nitaj proved Erdős's conjecture (1975) and claimed that there exist infinitely many triples of 3-powerful numbers a,b,c with (a,b) = 1, such that a+b=c, because the equation x^3 + y^3 = 6z^3 admits an infinite number of solutions, and given by the recurrence equations (see formula). It is proved that a=x(k)^3, b=y(k)^3, and c=6c^3, and are 3-powerful numbers for each k >= 1.

%F We generate the solutions (x(k),y(k),z(k)) from the initial solution x(0) = 37, y(0)=17, z(0)=21 x(k+1) = x(k)*(x(k)^3 + 2*y(k)^3) y(k+1) = -y(k)*(2*x(k)^3 + y(k)^3) z(k+1) = z(k)*(x(k)^3 - y(k)^3).

%e 37^3 + 17^3 = 6*21^3.
