There is a conjecture in mathematics that held for over two hundred years before it was disproved by the finding of a counterexample in 1966 by [http://www.ams.org/journals/mcom/1967-21-097/S0025-5718-1967-0220669-3/S0025-5718-1967-0220669-3.pdf Lander and Parkin]. |

This conjecture is called [[wp:Euler's sum of powers conjecture|Euler's sum of powers conjecture]] and can be stated as such: |
|||
:<big>At least k positive k<sup>th</sup> powers are required to sum to a k<sup>th</sup> power, except for the trivial case of one k<sup>th</sup> power: y<sup>k</sup> = y<sup>k</sup></big>. |

In 1966, Leon J. Lander and Thomas R. Parkin used a brute-force search on a [[wp:CDC_6600|CDC 6600]] computer restricting numbers to those less than 250. |
|||
The task consists in writing a program to search for an integer solution of <math>x_0^5 + x_1^5 + x_2^5 + x_3^5 = y^5</math> where all <math>x_i</math> and <math>y</math> are distinct integers between 0 and 250 (exclusive). Show an answer here. |

This program enhances a modular brute-force search, posted on fidonet in the 1980s, via number theoretic enhancements as used by the |
|||
program for ZX Spectrum Basic, but without the early decrement of the RHS in the control framework due to being backward compatible |
|||
with the lack of floating point in Sinclair ZX80 BASIC (whereby the latter is truly 'zeroeth' generation). To emulate running on a |
|||
ZX80 (needing a 16K RAM pack & MODifications, some given below) that completes the task sooner than the program for the OEM Spectrum, |
|||
it relies entirely on integer functions, their upper limit being 2^15- 1 in ZX80 BASIC as well. Thus, the "slide rule" calculation |
|||
of each percentage on the Spectrum is replaced by that of ones' digits across "abaci" of relatively prime bases Pi. Given that each |
|||
Pi is to be <= 2^7 for said limit's sake, it takes six prime numbers or powers thereof to serve as bases of such a mixed-base number |
|||
system, since it is necessary that ΠPi > 249^5 for unambiguous representation (as character strings). On ZX80s there are at most 64 |
|||
consecutive printable characters (in the inverse video block: t%=48 thus becomes T=128). Just seven bases Pi <= 2^6 will be needed |
|||
when the difference between 64 & a base is expressible as a four-bit offset, by which one must 'multiply' (since Z80s lack MUL) in |
|||
the reduction step of the optimal assembly algorithm for MOD Pi. Such bases are: 49, 53, 55, 57, 59, 61, 64. In disproving Euler's |
|||
conjecture, the program demonstrates that using 60 bits of integer precision in 1966 was 2-fold overkill, or even more so in terms of |
|||
overhead cost vis-a-vis contemporaneous computers less sophisticated than a CDC 6600. |

====Paired Powers w/ Mod 30 Shortcut and Threading==== |
|||
If one divides the searched array of powers ('''sum2m()''') into 30 pieces, the search time can be reduced by only searching the appropriate one (determined by the Mod 30 value of the value being sought). Once broken down by this, it is now easier to use threading to further reduce the computation time.<br/>The following compares the plain paired powers algorithm to the plain powers plus the mod 30 shortcut algorithm, without and with threading. |

This "abacus revision" reverts back to an earlier one, i.e. the "slide rule" one |
|||
calculating the logarithmic 'percentage' for each of 4 summands. It also calculates their ones' digits as if on a base m abacus, that |
|||
complements the other base m digits embedded in their percentages via a check sum of the ones' digits when the percentages add up to 1. |
|||
Because any other argument is less than m, there is sufficient additional precision so as to not find false solutions while |
|||
seeking the first primitive solution. 1 is excluded a priori for (e.g.) w, since it is well-known that the only integral points on |
|||
1=m^5-x^5-y^5-z^5 are the obvious ones (that aren't distinct\all >0). Nonetheless, 1 (as the zeroeth 'prime' Po) can be the first of 3 factors (one of |
|||
the others being a power of the first 4 primes) for specifying a LHS argument. Given 4 LHS arguments |
|||
each raised to a 5th power as is the RHS for which m<=ΣΠPi<2^(3+5), i=0 to 4, the LHS solution (if one exists) will consist of 4 elements of a factorial domain that are each a triplet |
|||
(a prime\Po * a prime^1st\2nd power * a prime^1st\4th power) multiple having a distinct pair of the first 4 primes present & |
|||
absent. Such potential solutions are generated by aiming for simplicity rather than |
|||
efficiency (e.g. not generating potential solutions where each multiple is even). Two theorems' consequences intended for an even |
|||
earlier revision are also applied: Fermat's Little Theorem (as proven later by Euler) whereby Xi^5 mod P = Xi mod P for the first 3 |
|||
primes; and the Chinese Remainder Theorem in reverse whereby m= k- i*2*3*5, such that k is chosen to be the highest allowed m |
|||
congruent mod 30 to the sum of the LHS arguments of a potential solution. Although still slow, this revision performs the given task |
|||
on any ZX Spectrum, despite being limited to 32-bit precision. |

We expand on the second version with two main improvements. First, we use a hash table instead of binary search to improve the runtime from O(n^3 log n) to O(n^3). Second, we adapt the fast inverse square root algorithm to quickly compute the fifth root. Combined this gives a 7.3x speedup over the Second Version. |

Uses the same idea as the QL SuperBASIC solution, i.e. if the desired equation holds modulo several positive integers M0, M1, ..., and if the LCM of M0, M1, ... is greater than 4*(249^5), then the equation holds absolutely. This makes it unnecessary to have variables with enough bits to store the fifth powers up to 249^5. It isn't clear why the fifth powers in a counterexample must be all different, as the task description seems to assume, so the demo program doesn't enforce this. |

=={{header|QL SuperBASIC}}== |
|||
This program enhances a modular brute-force search, posted on fidonet in the 1980s, via number theoretic enhancements as used by the |
|||
program for ZX Spectrum Basic, but without the early decrement of the RHS in the control framework due to being backward compatible |
|||
with the lack of floating point in Sinclair ZX80 BASIC (whereby the latter is truly 'zeroeth' generation). To emulate running on a |
|||
ZX80 (needing a 16K RAM pack & MODifications, some given below) that completes the task sooner than the program for the OEM Spectrum, |
|||
it relies entirely on integer functions, their upper limit being 2^15- 1 in ZX80 BASIC as well. Thus, the "slide rule" calculation |
|||
of each percentage on the Spectrum is replaced by that of ones' digits across "abaci" of relatively prime bases Pi. Given that each |
|||
Pi is to be <= 2^7 for said limit's sake, it takes six prime numbers or powers thereof to serve as bases of such a mixed-base number |
|||
system, since it is necessary that ΠPi > 249^5 for unambiguous representation (as character strings). On ZX80s there are at most 64 |
|||
consecutive printable characters (in the inverse video block: t%=48 thus becomes T=128). Just seven bases Pi <= 2^6 will be needed |
|||
when the difference between 64 & a base is expressible as a four-bit offset, by which one must 'multiply' (since Z80s lack MUL) in |
|||
the reduction step of the optimal assembly algorithm for MOD Pi. Such bases are: 49, 53, 55, 57, 59, 61, 64. In disproving Euler's |
|||
conjecture, the program demonstrates that using 60 bits of integer precision in 1966 was 2-fold overkill, or even more so in terms of |
|||
overhead cost vis-a-vis contemporaneous computers less sophisticated than a CDC 6600. |

===Paired Powers w/ Mod 30 Shortcut and Threading=== |
|||
If one divides the searched array of powers ('''sum2m()''') into 30 pieces, the search time can be reduced by only searching the appropriate one (determined by the Mod 30 value of the value being sought). Once broken down by this, it is now easier to use threading to further reduce the computation time.<br/>The following compares the plain paired powers algorithm to the plain powers plus the mod 30 shortcut algorithm, without and with threading. |

This "abacus revision" reverts back to an earlier one, i.e. the "slide rule" one |
|||
calculating the logarithmic 'percentage' for each of 4 summands. It also calculates their ones' digits as if on a base m abacus, that |
|||
complements the other base m digits embedded in their percentages via a check sum of the ones' digits when the percentages add up to 1. |
|||
Because any other argument is less than m, there is sufficient additional precision so as to not find false solutions while |
|||
seeking the first primitive solution. 1 is excluded a priori for (e.g.) w, since it is well-known that the only integral points on |
|||
1=m^5-x^5-y^5-z^5 are the obvious ones (that aren't distinct\all >0). Nonetheless, 1 (as the zeroeth 'prime' Po) can be the first of 3 factors (one of |
|||
the others being a power of the first 4 primes) for specifying a LHS argument. Given 4 LHS arguments |
|||
each raised to a 5th power as is the RHS for which m<=ΣΠPi<2^(3+5), i=0 to 4, the LHS solution (if one exists) will consist of 4 elements of a factorial domain that are each a triplet |
|||
(a prime\Po * a prime^1st\2nd power * a prime^1st\4th power) multiple having a distinct pair of the first 4 primes present & |
|||
absent. Such potential solutions are generated by aiming for simplicity rather than |
|||
efficiency (e.g. not generating potential solutions where each multiple is even). Two theorems' consequences intended for an even |
|||
earlier revision are also applied: Fermat's Little Theorem (as proven later by Euler) whereby Xi^5 mod P = Xi mod P for the first 3 |
|||
primes; and the Chinese Remainder Theorem in reverse whereby m= k- i*2*3*5, such that k is chosen to be the highest allowed m |
|||
congruent mod 30 to the sum of the LHS arguments of a potential solution. Although still slow, this revision performs the given task |
|||
on any ZX Spectrum, despite being limited to 32-bit precision. |

![Task](http://static.miraheze.org/rosettacodewiki/thumb/b/ba/Rcode-button-task-crushed.png/64px-Rcode-button-task-crushed.png)
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
There is a conjecture in mathematics that held for over two hundred years before it was disproved by the finding of a counterexample in 1966 by Lander and Parkin.
This conjecture is called Euler's sum of powers conjecture and can be stated as such:
- At least k positive kth powers are required to sum to a kth power, except for the trivial case of one kth power: yk = yk.
In 1966, Leon J. Lander and Thomas R. Parkin used a brute-force search on a CDC 6600 computer restricting numbers to those less than 250.
The task consists in writing a program to search for an integer solution of where all and are distinct integers between 0 and 250 (exclusive). Show an answer here.
Related tasks are:

F eulers_sum_of_powers()
V max_n = 250
V pow_5 = (0 .< max_n).map(n -> Int64(n) ^ 5)
V pow5_to_n = Dict(0 .< max_n, n -> (Int64(n) ^ 5, n))
L(x0) 1 .< max_n
L(x1) 1 .< x0
L(x2) 1 .< x1
L(x3) 1 .< x2
V pow_5_sum = pow_5[x0] + pow_5[x1] + pow_5[x2] + pow_5[x3]
I pow_5_sum C pow5_to_n
V y = pow5_to_n[pow_5_sum]
R (x0, x1, x2, x3, y)
V r = eulers_sum_of_powers()
print(‘#.^5 + #.^5 + #.^5 + #.^5 = #.^5’.format(r[0], r[1], r[2], r[3], r[4]))
- Output:
133^5 + 110^5 + 84^5 + 27^5 = 144^5
360 Assembly
In the program we do not user System/360 integers (31 bits) unable to handle the problem, but System/360 packed decimal (15 digits). 250^5 needs 12 digits.
This program could have been run in 1964. Here, for maximum compatibility, we use only the basic 360 instruction set. Macro instruction XPRNT can be replaced by a WTO.

This is long enough as it is, so the code here is just the main task body. Details like the BASIC loader (for a C-64, which is what I ran this on) and the output routines (including the very tedious conversion of a 40-bit integer to decimal) were moved into external include files. Also in an external file is the prebuilt table of the first 250 fifth powers ... actually, just for ease of referencing, it's the first 256, 0...255, in five tables each holding one byte of the value.

As suggested by the REXX solution, we find a solution to a^5 + b^5 + c^5 = e^5 - d^5 which results in a significant reduction in run time.

QL SuperBASIC
This program enhances a modular brute-force search, posted on fidonet in the 1980s, via number theoretic enhancements as used by the program for ZX Spectrum Basic, but without the early decrement of the RHS in the control framework due to being backward compatible with the lack of floating point in Sinclair ZX80 BASIC (whereby the latter is truly 'zeroeth' generation). To emulate running on a ZX80 (needing a 16K RAM pack & MODifications, some given below) that completes the task sooner than the program for the OEM Spectrum, it relies entirely on integer functions, their upper limit being 2^15- 1 in ZX80 BASIC as well. Thus, the "slide rule" calculation of each percentage on the Spectrum is replaced by that of ones' digits across "abaci" of relatively prime bases Pi. Given that each Pi is to be <= 2^7 for said limit's sake, it takes six prime numbers or powers thereof to serve as bases of such a mixed-base number system, since it is necessary that ΠPi > 249^5 for unambiguous representation (as character strings). On ZX80s there are at most 64 consecutive printable characters (in the inverse video block: t%=48 thus becomes T=128). Just seven bases Pi <= 2^6 will be needed when the difference between 64 & a base is expressible as a four-bit offset, by which one must 'multiply' (since Z80s lack MUL) in the reduction step of the optimal assembly algorithm for MOD Pi. Such bases are: 49, 53, 55, 57, 59, 61, 64. In disproving Euler's conjecture, the program demonstrates that using 60 bits of integer precision in 1966 was 2-fold overkill, or even more so in terms of overhead cost vis-a-vis contemporaneous computers less sophisticated than a CDC 6600.

Paired Powers w/ Mod 30 Shortcut and Threading
If one divides the searched array of powers (sum2m()) into 30 pieces, the search time can be reduced by only searching the appropriate one (determined by the Mod 30 value of the value being sought). Once broken down by this, it is now easier to use threading to further reduce the computation time.
The following compares the plain paired powers algorithm to the plain powers plus the mod 30 shortcut algorithm, without and with threading.

ZX Spectrum Basic
This "abacus revision" reverts back to an earlier one, i.e. the "slide rule" one calculating the logarithmic 'percentage' for each of 4 summands. It also calculates their ones' digits as if on a base m abacus, that complements the other base m digits embedded in their percentages via a check sum of the ones' digits when the percentages add up to 1. Because any other argument is less than m, there is sufficient additional precision so as to not find false solutions while seeking the first primitive solution. 1 is excluded a priori for (e.g.) w, since it is well-known that the only integral points on 1=m^5-x^5-y^5-z^5 are the obvious ones (that aren't distinct\all >0). Nonetheless, 1 (as the zeroeth 'prime' Po) can be the first of 3 factors (one of the others being a power of the first 4 primes) for specifying a LHS argument. Given 4 LHS arguments each raised to a 5th power as is the RHS for which m<=ΣΠPi<2^(3+5), i=0 to 4, the LHS solution (if one exists) will consist of 4 elements of a factorial domain that are each a triplet (a prime\Po * a prime^1st\2nd power * a prime^1st\4th power) multiple having a distinct pair of the first 4 primes present & absent. Such potential solutions are generated by aiming for simplicity rather than efficiency (e.g. not generating potential solutions where each multiple is even). Two theorems' consequences intended for an even earlier revision are also applied: Fermat's Little Theorem (as proven later by Euler) whereby Xi^5 mod P = Xi mod P for the first 3 primes; and the Chinese Remainder Theorem in reverse whereby m= k- i*2*3*5, such that k is chosen to be the highest allowed m congruent mod 30 to the sum of the LHS arguments of a potential solution. Although still slow, this revision performs the given task on any ZX Spectrum, despite being limited to 32-bit precision.

The trick to speed up was the observation that for any x we have x^5=x modulo 2, 3, and 5, according to the Fermat's little theorem. Thus, based on the Chinese Remainder Theorem we have x^5==x modulo 30 for any x. Therefore, when we have computed the left sum s=a^5+b^5+c^5+d^5, then we know that the right side e^5 must be such that s==e modulo 30. Thus, we do not have to consider all values of e, but only values in the form e=e0+30k, for some starting value e0, and any k. Also, we follow the constraints 1<=a<b<c<d<e<N in the main loop.

The fair way to measure the speed of the code above is to measure it's run time to find all possible solutions to the problem, given N (and not just a single solution, since then the time may depend on the way and the order we organize for-loops).

Another test with N=1000 produces the following results:
27 84 110 133 144 54 168 220 266 288 81 252 330 399 432 108 336 440 532 576 135 420 550 665 720 162 504 660 798 864 time=65743 milliseconds
PS: The solution for C++ provided below is actually quite good in its design idea behind. However, with all proposed tricks to speed up, the measurements for C++ solution for N=1000 showed the execution time 81447ms (+23%) on the same environment as above for C solution (same machine, same compiler, 64-bit platform). The reason that C++ solution is a bit slower is, perhaps, the fact that the inner loops over rs have complexity ~N/2 steps in average, while with the modulo 30 trick that complexity can be reduced down to ~N/60 steps, although one "expensive" extra %-operation is still needed.

First version
The simplest brute-force find is already reasonably quick:
#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
#include <set>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
bool find()
{
const auto MAX = 250;
vector<double> pow5(MAX);
for (auto i = 1; i < MAX; i++)
pow5[i] = (double)i * i * i * i * i;
for (auto x0 = 1; x0 < MAX; x0++) {
for (auto x1 = 1; x1 < x0; x1++) {
for (auto x2 = 1; x2 < x1; x2++) {
for (auto x3 = 1; x3 < x2; x3++) {
auto sum = pow5[x0] + pow5[x1] + pow5[x2] + pow5[x3];
if (binary_search(pow5.begin(), pow5.end(), sum))
{
cout << x0 << " " << x1 << " " << x2 << " " << x3 << " " << pow(sum, 1.0 / 5.0) << endl;
return true;
}
}
}
}
}
// not found
return false;
}
int main(void)
{
int tm = clock();
if (!find())
cout << "Nothing found!\n";
cout << "time=" << (int)((clock() - tm) * 1000 / CLOCKS_PER_SEC) << " milliseconds\r\n";
return 0;
}
- Output:
133 110 84 27 144 time=234 milliseconds
We can accelerate this further by creating a parallel std::set<double> p5s containing the elements of the std::vector pow5, and using it to replace the call to std::binary_search:
set<double> pow5s;
for (auto i = 1; i < MAX; i++)
{
pow5[i] = (double)i * i * i * i * i;
pow5s.insert(pow5[i]);
}
//...
if (pow5s.find(sum) != pow5s.end())
This reduces the timing to 125 ms on the same hardware.
A different, more effective optimization is to note that each successive sum is close to the previous one, and use a bidirectional linear search with memory. We also note that inside the innermost loop, we only need to search upward, so we hoist the downward linear search to the loop over x2.
bool find()
{
const auto MAX = 250;
vector<double> pow5(MAX);
for (auto i = 1; i < MAX; i++)
pow5[i] = (double)i * i * i * i * i;
auto rs = 5;
for (auto x0 = 1; x0 < MAX; x0++) {
for (auto x1 = 1; x1 < x0; x1++) {
for (auto x2 = 1; x2 < x1; x2++) {
auto s2 = pow5[x0] + pow5[x1] + pow5[x2];
while (rs > 0 && pow5[rs] > s2) --rs;
for (auto x3 = 1; x3 < x2; x3++) {
auto sum = s2 + pow5[x3];
while (rs < MAX - 1 && pow5[rs] < sum) ++rs;
if (pow5[rs] == sum)
{
cout << x0 << " " << x1 << " " << x2 << " " << x3 << " " << pow(sum, 1.0 / 5.0) << endl;
return true;
}
}
}
}
}
// not found
return false;
}
This reduces the timing to around 25 ms. We could equally well replace rs with an iterator inside pow5; the timing is unaffected.
For comparison with the C code, we also check the timing of an exhaustive search up to MAX=1000. (Don't try this in Python.) This takes 87.2 seconds on the same hardware, comparable to the results found by the C code authors, and supports their conclusion that the mod-30 trick used in the C solution leads to better scalability than the iterator optimizations.
Fortunately, we can incorporate the same trick into the above code, by inserting a forward jump to a feasible solution mod 30 into the loop over x3:
for (auto x3 = 1; x3 < x2; x3++)
{
// go straight to the first appropriate x3, mod 30
if (int err30 = (x0 + x1 + x2 + x3 - rs) % 30)
x3 += 30 - err30;
if (x3 >= x2)
break;
auto sum = s2 + pow5[x3];
With this refinement, the exhaustive search up to MAX=1000 takes 16.9 seconds.
Thanks, C guys!
Second version
We can create a more efficient method by using the idea (taken from the EchoLisp listing below) of precomputing difference between pairs of fifth powers. If we combine this with the above idea of using linear search with memory, this still requires asymptotically O(N^4) time (because of the linear search within diffs), but is at least twice as fast as the solution above using the mod-30 trick. Exhaustive search up to MAX=1000 took 6.2 seconds for me (64-bit on 3.4GHz i7). It is not clear how it can be combined with the mod-30 trick.
The asymptotic behavior can be improved to O(N^3 ln N) by replacing the linear search with an increasing-increment "hunt" (and the outer linear search, which is also O(N^4), with a call to std::upper_bound). With this replacement, the first solution was found in 0.05 seconds; exhaustive search up to MAX=1000 took 2.80 seconds; and the second nontrivial solution (discarding multiples of the first solution), at y==2615, was found in 94.6 seconds. Note: there is no solution 2615, because 645^5 + 1523^5 + 1722^5 +2506^5 = 122 280 854 808 884 376, but 2615^5=122 280 854 808 884 375. This is an error due to limitation in mantissa of double type (52 bits). 128 bit type is required for the next solution 85359.

Third version
We expand on the second version with two main improvements. First, we use a hash table instead of binary search to improve the runtime from O(n^3 log n) to O(n^3). Second, we adapt the fast inverse square root algorithm to quickly compute the fifth root. Combined this gives a 7.3x speedup over the Second Version.

Factor
This solution uses Factor's backtrack
vocabulary (based on continuations) to simplify the reduction of the search space. Each time xn
is called, a new summand is introduced which can only take on a value as high as the previous summand - 1. This also creates a checkpoint for the backtracker. fail
causes the backtracking to occur.

To solve this problem, we must handle integers up 250**5 ~= 9.8*10**11 . So we need integers with at less 41 bits. In 1966 all Fortrans were not equal. On IBM360, INTEGER was a 32-bit integer; on CDC6600, INTEGER was a 60-bit integer. And Leon J. Lander and Thomas R. Parkin used the CDC6600.

(#~ (= <.)@((+/"1)&.:(^&5)))1+4 comb 248
27 84 110 133
Explanation:
1+4 comb 248
finds all the possibilities for our four arguments. Then,
(#~ (= <.)@((+/"1)&.:(^&5)))
discards the cases we are not interested in. (It only keeps the case(s) where the fifth root of the sum of the fifth powers is an integer.)
Only one possibility remains.
Here's a significantly faster approach (about 100 times faster), based on the echolisp implementation:
find5=:3 :0
y=. 250
n=. i.y
p=. n^5
a=. (#~ 0&<),-/~p
s=. /:~a
l=. (i.*:y)(#~ 0&<),-/~p
c=. 3 comb <.5%:(y^5)%4
t=. +/"1 c{p
x=. (t e. s)#t
|.,&<&~./|:(y,y)#:l#~a e. x
)
Use:
find5''
┌─────────────┬───┐
│27 84 110 133│144│
└─────────────┴───┘
Note that this particular implementation is a bit hackish, since it relies on the solution being unique for the range of numbers being considered. If there were more solutions it would take a little extra code (though not much time) to untangle them.

Alternative
Uses the same idea as the QL SuperBASIC solution, i.e. if the desired equation holds modulo several positive integers M0, M1, ..., and if the LCM of M0, M1, ... is greater than 4*(249^5), then the equation holds absolutely. This makes it unnecessary to have variables with enough bits to store the fifth powers up to 249^5. It isn't clear why the fifth powers in a counterexample must be all different, as the task description seems to assume, so the demo program doesn't enforce this.

Phix
Around four seconds, not spectacularly fast. My naive brute force was over a minute. This is not where Phix shines.
Quitting when the first is found drops the main loop to 0.7s, so 1.1s in all, vs 4.3s for the full search.
Without the return 0, you just get six permutes (of ordered pairs) for 144.

It's much faster to cache and look up sums of two fifth powers, due to the small allowed range:

for i in range(1, MAX):
p5[i**5] = i

REXX
fast computation
Programming note: the 3rd argument can be specified which causes an attempt to find N solutions.
The starting and ending (low and high) values can also be specified (to limit or expand the search range).
If any of the arguments are omitted, they default to the Rosetta Code task's specifications.
The method used is:
- precompute all powers of five (within the confines of allowed integers)
- precompute all (positive) differences between two applicable 5th powers
- see if any of the sums of any three 5th powers are equal to any of those (above) differences
- {thanks to the real nifty idea (↑↑↑) from user ID G. Brougnard}
- see if the sum of any four 5th powers is equal to any 5th power
- (this is needed as the fourth number d isn't known yet).
- {all of the above utilizes REXX's sparse stemmed array hashing which eliminates the need for sorting.}
By implementing (user ID) G. Brougnard's idea of differences of two 5th powers,
the time used for computation was reduced by over a factor of seventy.
In essence, the new formula being solved is: a5 + b5 + c5 == x5 ─ d5
which lends itself to algorithm optimization by (only) having to:
- [the right side of the above equation] pre-compute all possible differences between any two applicable
integer powers of five (there are 30,135 unique differences) - [the left side of the above equation] sum any applicable three integer powers of five
- [the == part of the above equation] see if any of the above left─side sums match any of the ≈30k right─side differences
- [the right side of the above equation] pre-compute all possible differences between any two applicable

lightning-fast computation
Programming note: it can be observed from the 1st REXX program's output (2nd example) that all of the index solutions are just multiples of the 1st known set:
for A, a multiple of 27 for B, a multiple of 84 for C, a multiple of 110 for D, a multiple of 133 for X, a multiple of 144
where "a multiple" is some positive integer.
Intrepid and resourceful Rosetta Code userid Pat Garrett has found that in a research paper that Jim Frye found another solution:
- 555 + 31835 + 289695 + 852825 = 853595
The paper can be seen at: A variety of Euler's conjecture.
So this 2nd known set was added to the program below.
So, index solutions are also multiples of the 2nd known set:
for A, a multiple of 55 for B, a multiple of 3,183 for C, a multiple of 28,969 for D, a multiple of 85,282 for X, a multiple of 85,359
Execution time for computing/displaying/writing 200 numbers on a slow PC is about 1/16 second.
Execution time on a slow PC for computing (alone) for 6,000 numbers is less than one second.

Brute force:

result = power5.keys.repeated_combination(4).select{|a| power5[a.inject(:+)]}
puts result.map{|a| a.map{|i| "#{power5[i]}**5"}.join(' + ') + " = #{power5[a.inject(:+)]}**5"}

Faster version:
p5, sum2, max = {}, {}, 250
(1..max).each do |i|
p5[i**5] = i
(i..max).each{|j| sum2[i**5 + j**5] = [i,j]}
end
result = {}
sk = sum2.keys.sort
p5.keys.sort.each do |p|
sk.each do |s|
break if p <= s
result[(sum2[s] + sum2[p-s]).sort] = p5[p] if sum2[p - s]
end
end
result.each{|k,v| puts k.map{|i| "#{i}**5"}.join(' + ') + " = #{v}**5"}

Uses two look up tables for efficiency. Counts from 0 for ease of coding.

.fmt(x3+1,x2+1,x1+1,x0+1,pow5r[sum]+1));

Using the Python technique of caching double sums results in a 5x speed up [to the first/only solution]; actually the speed up is close to 25x but creating the caches dominates the runtime to the first solution.
p5,sum2:=Dictionary(),Dictionary();
foreach i in ([1..249]){
p5[i.pow(5)]=i;
foreach j in ([i..249]){ sum2[i.pow(5) + j.pow(5)]=T(i,j) } // 31,125 keys
}
sk:=sum2.keys.apply("toInt").copy().sort(); // RW list sorts faster than a RO one
foreach p,s in (p5.keys.apply("toInt"),sk){
if(p<=s) break;
if(sum2.holds(p - s)){
println("%d^5 + %d^5 + %d^5 + %d^5 = %d^5"
.fmt(sum2[s].xplode(),sum2[p - s].xplode(),p5[p]));
break(2); // or get permutations
}
}
Note: dictionary keys are always strings and copying a read only list creates a read write list.
