[quote]While proving a few such important sequences infinite might help us
triangulate on the keys - the k-tuples, and the mersennes.
[/quote][quote] Is that blind faith, or do you have some reason for this belief?
[/quote]I'll just say here it's not blind and it's not faith.

Forgive me my keys.

[QUOTE=davar55;243589]From above:

...

If we prove that enough sequences' infinitude (like this one) depends on that k-tuple conjecture, then proving even one of them infinite would
be evidence that all are - including the mersennes.[/QUOTE]

I suppose this might be considered more evidence, huh?

[QUOTE=davar55;241455]Another possibly interesting variation:

2^2 + 3^3 + 5^5 + ... + p^p = 10[sup]m[/sup]K

What is the smallest prime p such that
the sum of squares of all primes up to p
is a multiple of 10 (or 100 or 1000 and so on).

(I think somewhere in these series we'll get
numeric pointers to empirical evidence
connecting some number theoretical conjectures.)[/QUOTE]

Just checking.

[QUOTE=cheesehead;208799]Not yet in the OEIS.

[URL="http://www.research.att.com/%7Enjas/sequences/"]http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequences/[/URL]

I think it qualifies. Also, I'm fond of OEIS entries with relatively large initial terms -- especially when the next few terms are so closely spaced as in this one. (Might it set some record in that regard -- highest ratio of initial term to average spacing of next n terms, for n = 3?)

I'd be glad to submit it, but I think it should be one of you guys.

How about generalizing to other bases?[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=davar55;210100]This is fine work by all of you. If you wish to submit the sequence to
oeis, please go ahead. I couldn't do justice to the calculations, which
I'm really impressed by. Joint discovery (attribution) is fine.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=bsquared;210433]Now in OEIS: [URL="http://www.research.att.com/%7Enjas/sequences/A174862"]A174862[/URL][/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=davar55;210785]With all the work done on the OP, it shouldn't be too hard
to generalize the problem a bit.

I think cubes.

2^3 + 3^3 + 5^3 + ... + p^3 = 10[sup]m[/sup]K

What is the smallest prime p such that
the sum of cubes of all primes up to p
is a multiple of 10 (or 100 or 1000 or 10000 or ...).

I'm also curious about how these (squares and cubes) results
compare to first powers (sum of primes themselves).

Since these series depend on the properties of a number
in base ten, they could be considered recreational --
interesting but not necessarily useful. Still, perhaps the
sequence of sequences can someday be used to derive some
important number theoretic fact. That's one of the purposes
of the oeis.[/QUOTE]

Yes indeed.

Hardly almost 9 years have passed, and already the topic comes out again. When I searched for entries of b[SUP]2[/SUP] in the OEIS, I came across the sequence A[OEIS]174862[/OEIS], which contained a link to this discussion.

But with the two variants p[SUP]3[/SUP] and p[SUP]p[/SUP] not much more happened, and I have now taken the liberty to close these gaps in OEIS with new entries A[OEIS]330308[/OEIS] and A[OEIS]330309[/OEIS]. It is remarkable how quickly Giovanni Resta found two more terms in the p[SUP]p[/SUP] sequence A330309, but Giovanni is notorious for such amazing results.

Can't believe it has been that long since this happened. Thanks for submitting the p[SUP]3[/SUP] sequence, that must have been overlooked before. Also glad you are having fun with variants. Looking at the timing of things, it can't have been more than a day or so for additional terms to have been added which makes Giovanni's additions very impressive indeed.

A supsequence of A330309.

If someone has such an idea, it is best if he himself submits this as a proposal for a new sequence. I'm not going to take this job off your hands for now. At best, I can help with the procedure of how to submit new entries. Opinions about whether something is accepted or rejected differ widely. I do not presume to decide whether this deserves a new entry in the OEIS database. This decision is made jointly by the team of editors.
