Title
A new variant of the Hilbert-Waring problem.
Abstract
In this paper, we propose a new variant of Waring's problem: to express a positive integer n as a sum of s positive integers whose product is a k-th power. We define, in a similar way to that done for g(k) and G(k) in Waring's problem, numbers g'(k) and G'(k). We obtain g'(k) = 2k - 1, G'(p) <= p + 1 for primes p, G'(2p) <= 2p + 2 for odd primes p. Moreover, we obtain several interesting results and make two conjectures about G'(3) and G'(4).
