Abstract
For a positive integer , the set of all integers greater than or equal to is denoted by . A sum of generalized -gonal numbers is called tight -universal if the set of all nonzero integers represented by is equal to . In this article, we prove the existence of a minimal tight -universality criterion set for a sum of generalized -gonal numbers for any pair . To achieve this, we introduce an algorithm giving all candidates for tight -universal sums of generalized -gonal numbers for any given pair . Furthermore, we provide some experimental results on the classification of tight -universal sums of generalized -gonal numbers.
