Abstract
Let . For positive integers , a polynomial of the form is called an octagonal form. For a positive integer , an octagonal form is called tight -universal if it represents (over ) every positive integer greater than or equal to and does not represent any positive integer less than . In this article, we find all tight -universal octagonal forms for every . Furthermore, we provide an effective criterion on tight -universality of an arbirary octagonal form, which is a generalization of "15-Theorem" of Conway and Schneeberger.
