On a conjecture of Farhi
Journal of integer sequences, Tome 17 (2014) no. 1
Recently, Farhi showed that every natural number $N$ ≢ 2 (mod 24) can be written as the sum of three numbers of the form $floor(n^{2}/3) (n \in $ N). He conjectured that this result remains true even if $N \equiv 2$ (mod 24). In this note, we prove this statement.
