Abstract
Let denote the number of solutions of in odd numbers . It is clear that . For distinct primes , let S(p_1, p_2,..., p_t)=\{p_1^{\alpha_1}...p_t^{\alpha_t}\mid \alpha_i\in \mathbb{N}_0, i=1,2,..., t}. Let be the number of solutions with and . It is clear that if for some , then the inverse sum of all elements in is more than 1. In this paper we study and . Three of our results are: 1) for all ; 2) if the inverse sum of all elements in is more than 1, then for infinitely many and the set of these is the union of finitely many arithmetic progressions; 3) there exists two constants and such that for any we have either or .
