Abstract

We prove that for a positive integer cc and any given ε\varepsilon, 0<ε<10<\varepsilon<1, the number N(c)N(c) of equations c=a+bc=a+b, a<ba<b, with positive coprime integers aa and bb, which satisfy the inequality c<R(c)ε1+εR(a)11+εR(b)11+ε,c < R(c)^{\frac{\varepsilon}{1+\varepsilon}}R(a)^{\frac{1}{1+\varepsilon}}R(b)^{\frac{1}{1+\varepsilon}}, where R(n) is the radical of nn, is for cc\to\infty N(c)=(1ε)ϕ(c)2+O(ϕ(c)2).N(c)=(1-\varepsilon)\frac{\phi(c)}{2}+O\Bigl(\frac{\phi(c)}{2}\Bigr). An analogue for the abc-conjecture inequality c<R(abc)1+εc<R(abc)^{1+\varepsilon} (without a constant factor) will also be proved.
