| 2 days ago | comment | added | joro | @ĐàoThanhOai I am not working with p,q. If you fix v=1 u=B^k, then deg(rad(abc))=33 indeed, but the radical is divisible by B^k and rad(B^k)<=B and we have degrees of freedom to change B,k and get the radical divisible by m^r for integers m,r. | |
| 2 days ago | comment | added | Đào Thanh Oai | @joro If we fixed $q=const$ or $p=const$, we have $deg(c)=32$ and $deg(rad(abc))=33$ | |

| Mar 28 at 17:18 | comment | added | Đào Thanh Oai | @Wojowu Empirical evidence from further iterations suggests that the ratio $\frac{\ln(b)}{\ln(\text{rad}(b))}$ asymptotically approaches 4. Magnitude-wise, this implies that the recurrence generates infinitely many identities behaving like $X^2 + \text{rad}(b)^4 = Z^4$. Is there a rigorous mathematical proof or a known theorem that formally explains this limit? | |

| Mar 28 at 15:03 | comment | added | Wojowu | More explicitly, for your choice of $u,v$, we get $c\approx B^{32k}$ and $rad(abc)\lesssim rad(B^{4k}-1)B^{28k+1}$. Taking e.g. $B=2$ and $3\mid k$ we get $rad(B^{4k}-1)<B^{4k}/3$ so the inequality for large $k$. | |
