Effective $S$-unit Equations Beyond 3 Terms : Newman's Conjecture

Number Theory 2023-08-11 v1

Abstract

We show how to effectively solve 5-term SS-unit equations when the set of primes SS has cardinality at most 3, and use this to provide an explicit answer to an old question of D.J. Newman on representations of integers as sums of SS-units.
