On Sums With Small Prime Factors
Author: Gabor Sarkozy
ABSTRACT
Improving the existing bounds on a problem of P. Erdos, that can
be viewed as the conversion of the Goldbach problem, we prove
the following: Let epsilon > 0 be fixed. Every integer N>N_0
(epsilon ) can be written in the form N = n_1 + n_2 + n_3 where
the greatest prime factor of n_1 n_2 n_3 is <= exp ( (\sqrt{3/2} +
epsilon) ( log N log log N)^{1/2} ). We also show that the same statement is
not true with ( log N )^{{3/2} - epsilon}.
Paper only.
