計程車數

第 n 個計程車數 Ta(n) 是可以用 n 種方式表示為正立方數之和的最小數。這些數字的名字來源於 哈代-拉馬努金數

Ta(2)=1729
(1)
=1^3+12^3
(2)
=9^3+10^3,
(3)

這與 G. H. 哈代 (Hofstadter 1989, Kanigel 1991, Snow 1993) 講述的關於拉馬努金的故事有關。

1729 in Futurama

1729 的這個性質在 2005 年的電影證明中被安東尼·霍普金斯扮演的角色羅伯特（有時是精神失常的數學家）提及。它也是動畫電視劇飛出個未來第二季 DVD 2ACV02 集（Greenwald；左圖）中出現的 Nimbus BP-1729 宇宙飛船的名稱的一部分，以及機器人角色本德的序列號，如聖誕賀卡在聖誕故事一集中所描繪的那樣（第 2 卷 DVD，Georgoulias et al. 2004；右圖）。

然而，早在 1657 年，F. de Bessy (Berndt and Bhargava 1993, Guy 1994) 就已經知道了這個性質。Leech (1957) 發現

Ta(3)=87539319
(4)
=167^3+436^3
(5)
=228^3+423^3
(6)
=255^3+414^3.
(7)

Rosenstiel et al. (1991) 最近發現

Ta(4)=6963472309248
(8)
=2421^3+19083^3
(9)
=5436^3+18948^3
(10)
=10200^3+18072^3
(11)
=13322^3+16630^3.
(12)

Wilson (1999) 發現

Ta(5)=48988659276962496
(13)
=38787^3+365757^3
(14)
=107839^3+362753^3
(15)
=205292^3+342952^3
(16)
=221424^3+336588^3
(17)
=231518^3+331954^3.
(18)

因此，前幾個計程車數是 2, 1729, 87539319, 6963472309248, 48988659276962496, ... (OEIS A011541)。

第六個計程車數是

Ta(6)=24153319581254312065344
(19)
=28906206^3+582162^3
(20)
=28894803^3+3064173^3
(21)
=28657487^3+8519281^3
(22)
=27093208^3+16218068^3
(23)
=26590452^3+17492496^3
(24)
=26224366^3+18289922^3
(25)

(Calude et al. 2003, Hollerbach 2008)。

Hardy 和 Wright (1979 年定理 412) 表明，這種和的數量可以任意大，但是，根據威爾遜的結果更新 Guy (1994) 的結果，對於六個或更多相等的和，最小的例子仍然未知。

Sloane 定義了一種略有不同的計程車數型別，即可以用兩種或多種方式表示為兩個立方和的數字，其中前幾個是 1729, 4104, 13832, 20683, 32832, 39312, 40033, 46683, 64232, ... (OEIS A001235)。
