OEIS A212558: Proof of Unproven Conjecture? Proven!
The sequence
https://oeis.org/A212558 defined as a(n) = ((n - s)^2 mod (n + s)) - ((n + s)^2 mod (n - s)), where s is the sum of the decimal digits of n has the value 0 for 2,999 < n < 20,000,000 & for random input 20,000,000 =< n < 10^94. Can anyone suggest a proof of 0 value for all integer input > 2,999 ? |

(n - s)^2 = (n + s)^2 - 4 n s = (n + s)^2 - 4 s (n + s) + 4 s^2
(n + s)^2 = (n - s)^2 + 4 n s = (n - s)^2 + 4 s (n - s) + 4 s^2 Then source problem is equivalent 4 s^2 mod (n+s) = 4 s^2 mod (n-s) This is true for all s, that 4 s^2 < n-s. |

The same property seems to hold for other bases apart from 10:
Code:
BS is the base, MAXn is the largest n for which a(n) is non-zero. Native is n presented in the specified base rather than base 10. Some observations:
It is interesting to note that the final number always ends with a run of the largest digit permitted by the base. |

Time to update the OEIS details?

Gerald, thanks you for the interesting quiz!
Small addendum about sum of the decimal digits of n. Let s(n) is the sum of the decimal digits of n. Consider condition 4*s(n)^2 < n-s(n), (*) 4*s(n)^2 + s(n) < n Function in left is monotonically increasing function, then in respect that s(n) <= 9*log10(n+1) we get estimation 4*s(n)^2 + s(n) <= 4 * (9 * log10(n+1))^2 + 9*log10(n+1) = 324 * log10(n+1)^2 + 9*log10(n+1) Maximal solution of the equation 324 * log10(n+1)^2 + 9*log10(n+1) = n is n0 ~ 4313.68. (I use Wolfram Alpha for getting this value.) Hence, condition (*) is true for all n > n0. For n from 2999 to 4313 source statement may be checked by direct computations. |
