A Generalization of
Fermat"s Last Theorem:
The Beal Conjecture and
Prize Problem
R. Daniel Mauldin
A ndrew Beal is a Dallas banker who has a general interest in mathemat- ics and its status within our culture.He also has a personal interest in the
discipline. In fact, he has formulated a conjecture in number theory on which he has been working for several years. It is remarkable that occasionally someone working in isolation and with no connections to the mathematical world for- mulates a problem so close to current research ac- tivity.The Beal Conjecture
Let A;B;C;x;y, and zbe positive integers with
x;y;z >2. If A x +B y =C z , then A, B, and C have a common factor.Or, slightly restated:
The equation
A x +B y =C z has no solution in positive integersA;B;C;x;y, and zwith x;y, and
zat least 3and A;B, and Ccoprime.It turns out that very similar conjectures have
been made over the years. In fact, Brun in his 1914 paper states several similar problems [1]. How- ever, it is very timely that this problem be raised now, since Fermat"s Last Theorem has just recently been proved (or re-proved) by Wiles [6]. Some of the significant advances made on some problems closely related to the prize problem by Darmon andGranville [2] are indicated below. Darmon and
Granville in their article also discuss some related conjectures along this line and provide many rel- evant references.The prize. Andrew Beal is very generously of- fering a prize of $5,000 for the solution of this problem. The value of the prize will increase by $5,000 per year up to $50,000 until it is solved. The prize committee consists of Charles Fefferman,Ron Graham, and R. Daniel Mauldin, who will act
as the chair of the committee. All proposed solu- tions and inquiries about the prize should be sent to Mauldin.The abc conjecture. During the 1980s a con-
jectured diophantine inequality, the "abc conjec- ture", with many applications was formulated by Masser, Oesterle, and Szpiro. A survey of this idea has been given by Lang [5] and an elementary dis- cussion by Goldfeld [4]. This inequality can be stated in very simple terms, and it can be applied to Beal"s problem. To state the abc conjecture, let us say that if a, b, and care positive integers, thenN(a,b,c)denotes the square free part of the prod-
uct abc. In other words, N(a,b,c)is the product of the prime divisors of a, b, and cwith each divisor counted only once. The abc conjecture can be for- mulated as follows:For each
²>0, there is a constant >1such that
if a and b are relatively prime (or coprime) and c = a+b, then max(jaj;jbj;jcj)N(a;b;c)1+²
Now let us show that if the abc conjecture holds,
then there are no solutions to the prize problem when the exponents are large enough. Let k= log=log2 + (3 + 3²). Let min(x;y;z)> k . Assume A, B, and C are positive integers withA and B relatively prime and such that
A x +B y =C z . Setting a=A x and b=B y , we have R. Daniel Mauldin is Regents Professor of mathematics at the University of North Texas, Denton, TX. His e-mail ad- dresses are mauldin@unt.edu andmauldin@ dynamics.math.unt.edu. beal.qxp 10/17/97 2:49 PM Page 1436DECEMBER1997 NOTICES OF THEAMS 1437
c=a+b=C z . From the abc conjecture and the fact that N(A x ;B y ;C z )ABC, we have max(A x ;B y ;C z )(ABC)1+²
If max(A;B;C)=A, then we would have
A x A3+3²
or xlog logA+3+3²k;
which is not the case. A similar argument for the other two possibilities for the maximum shows that our original assumption is impossible. Next let us give an explicit version of the abc con- jecture: If aand bare coprime positive integers and c = a+b, then c(N(a;b;c)) 2 . Let us see what this implies for the prize problem. Suppose A x +B y =C z , with xyz. Again, since A x and B y are coprime, C z (N(A x B y C z 2 (ABC) 2So 1=2<1=x+1=y+1=z. Since x;y, and zare
greater than 2, we have the following possibilities for (x,y,z): (3;3;z>3);(3;4;z4);(3;5;z5); (3;6;z7);(4;4;z5) , and a finite list of other cases.There are only finitely many possible solu-
tions. In 1995 Darmon and Granville [2] showed that if the positive integers x;y, and zare such that1=x+1=y+1=z <1, then there are only finitely
many triples of coprime integersA;B;Csatisfying
A x +B y =C z . Since each of x;y, and zis greater than 2, then1=x+1=y+1=z <1unless
x=y=z=3. But Euler and possibly Fermat knew there are no solutions in this case. So for each triple x;y, and z, all greater than 2, there can be only finitely many solutions to the diophantine equation A x +B y =C zRelated problems. What happens if it is only re-
quired that x;y, and zbe 2and at least one of them is greater than 2 and A, B, and Care coprime? There is a detailed analysis in [2] of those cases where x;y;z2and 1=x+1=y+1=z >1.What happens if we require only that
1=x+1=y+1=z <1and A;B, and Care coprime?
This problem is also discussed by Darmon and
Granville. In fact, they have formulated
The Fermat-Catalan Conjecture. There are only
finitely many triples of coprime integer powers x p ;y q ;z r for which x p +y q =z r with1 p+1q+1r<1: So far, as mentioned in [2], ten solutions have been found. The first five are small solutions. They are 1+2 3=3 2 ;2 5 +7 2 =3 4 ;7 3 +13 2 =2 9 ;2 7 +17 3 712 ;3 5 +11 4 = 122 2
Also five large solutions have been found:
17 7 + 762713= 21063928
2 , 14143+ 2213459
2 =657, 9262
3 + 15312283 2 = 113 7 , 43 8 + 96222 330042907
2 , 33 8 + 15490342= 15613
3 . The last five big solutions were found by Beukers and Zagier.Recently Darmon and Merel have shown that
there are no coprime solutions with exponents (x;x;3)with x3[3].Acknowledgment. Since I am not an expert in
this field, I would like to thank Andrew Granville and Richard Guy for their expert help in prepar- ing this note.References

Andrew Beal is a number theory enthusiast re-
siding in Dallas, Texas. He grew up in Lansing,Michigan, and attended Michigan State Uni-
versity. He has a particular interest in some ofFermat"s work and has spent many, many
hours thinking about Fermat"s Last Theorem.He believes that Fermat did possess a relatively
simple non-geometry-based proof for FLT, and he continues to search for it. He also believes that Fermat had a method of solution for Pell"s equation that remains unknown and that was a function of the squares whose sum equals the coefficient.Andrew is forty-four years old. He and his
wife, Simona, have five children. He is the founder/chairman/owner of Beal Bank, Dal- las"s largest locally owned bank. He is also the recent founder/CEO/owner of Beal Aerospace, which is designing and building a next-gener- ation rocket for launching satellites into earth orbits.Beal Bank, Toyota, and the Dallas Morning
Newsare the primary sponsors of the Dallas

Bank is also a primary sponsor of the Dallas
Area Odyssey of the Mind Competition. An-
drew Beal has been a major benefactor for the mathematics program at the University ofNorth Texas through his substantial scholar-
ships for graduate students and for students in the Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science. beal.qxp 10/17/97 2:49 PM Page 1437quotesdbs_dbs33.pdfusesText_39[PDF] le dernier théorème de fermat film
