Abstract

For coprime positive integers a,b,ca, b, c, where a+b=ca+b=c, gcd(a,b,c)=1\gcd(a,b,c)=1 and 1a<b1\leq a < b, the famous abcabc conjecture (Masser and Oesterl\`e, 1985) states that for ε>0\varepsilon > 0, only finitely many abcabc triples satisfy c>R(abc)1+εc > R(abc)^{1+\varepsilon}, where R(n)R(n) denotes the radical of nn. We examine the patterns in squarefree factors of binary additive partitions of positive integers to elucidate the claim of the conjecture. With abcabc hit referring to any (a,b,c)(a, b, c) triple satisfying R(abc)<cR(abc)<c, we show an algorithm to generate hits forming infinite sequences within sets of equivalence classes of positive integers. Integer patterns in such sequences of hits are heuristically consistent with the claim of the conjecture.
