Review text

We consider the set \(A\) of positive integers that are the product of three primes, not all three of them equal. Given an integer in \(A\), we form the three sums of each pair of primes, and then consider the largest prime divisor of each sum. We obtain again three primes, and it can be shown that not all three of them are equal. This gives us a new integer in \(A\), that is, we have a dynamical system on \(A\). The author shows that all orbits eventually get trapped in the orbit of the integer 20, which has period 4.
