Variant of a theorem of Erdős on the sum-of-proper
... Our algorithm has running time of the shape x1+o(1) . The algorithm of te Riele is based on an earlier one of Alanen [Ala72]. Alanen was able to count U to 5,000, while with te Riele’s improvements, he got the count to 20,000. We provide some statistics to x = 108 indicating that the density of U pe ...

Fermat's Last Theorem
In number theory, Fermat's Last Theorem (sometimes called Fermat's conjecture, especially in older texts) states that no three positive integers a, b, and c can satisfy the equation an + bn = cn for any integer value of n greater than two. The cases n = 1 and n = 2 were known to have infinitely many solutions. This theorem was first conjectured by Pierre de Fermat in 1637 in the margin of a copy of Arithmetica where he claimed he had a proof that was too large to fit in the margin. The first successful proof was released in 1994 by Andrew Wiles, and formally published in 1995, after 358 years of effort by mathematicians. The theretofore unsolved problem stimulated the development of algebraic number theory in the 19th century and the proof of the modularity theorem in the 20th century. It is among the most notable theorems in the history of mathematics and prior to its proof it was in the Guinness Book of World Records for ""most difficult mathematical problems"".
