An elementary proof that any natural number can be written as the sum of three terms of the sequence \(\lfloor \frac{n}{2/3} \rfloor \)
Journal of integer sequences, Tome 17 (2014) no. 7
We give an elementary proof that any natural number can be written as the sum of three terms of the sequence $\lfloor n^{2}/3 \rfloor _{n \in N}$ . This is a recent conjecture of the author that was very recently confirmed by Mezroui et al.; they used a result due to Bateman and derived from the theory of modular forms. We also state some conjectures related to the subject.
Keywords: sum of squares, Legendre's theorem, additive bases
