Talk:Erdős–Moser equation

Is this solution to the Erdos-Moser equation true? http://vixra.org/pdf/1805.0230v1.pdf 3p8 (talk) 21:11, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

On circumstantial grounds alone (techniques employed, venue of publication), the answer is "of course not". Concretely, it's easy to identify the error: in the final paragraph on page 2, the author proposes to substitute x + 1 for x in equation (3.4), but equation (3.4) is valid only for those values of x that actually are solutions, not in general. --207.232.84.226 (talk) 01:25, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

• ... that all solutions of the Erdős–Moser equation correspond to convergents of ln(2), yielding "one of very few instances where a large scale computation of a numerical constant has an application"?

The support for the hook is in the article's abstract.
