review text: A polynomial of the form \(a_1P_8(x_1) + a_2P_8(x_2) + \cdots + a_kP_8(x_k)\), where \(a_i \in {\mathbb Z}^+\) and \(P_8(x) = 3x^2-2x,\) is an octagonal form. It is said to be tight \({\mathcal T}(n)\)-universal if it represents over \({\mathbb Z}\) every positive integer greater than or equal to the positive integer \(n\) and does not represent any positive integer less than \(n\). The authors find all tight \({\mathcal T}(n)\)-universal octagonal forms for every \(n \geq 2.\) This completes the classification of tight universal octagonal forms since universal octagonal forms have already been completely determined.
