An arithmetic conjecture on an arctangent sum (English)
0 references
There is a conjecture that the recursively defined sequence \(x_1=1\), \(x_n=\frac{n+x_{n-1}}{1-nx_{n-1}}\) has no integer terms for \(n\geq 5\). The paper shows that the subsequences \(x_{19n+5}\) and \(x_{19n+13}\) contain no integer values.
