I have discovered some years ago following inequalities for x, y, z and n
(int(v)=integer part of v, log is natural logarithm):
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
! log2 !
! 3 < n < int( ---------- ) ! (1)
! = = z !
! log(-----) !
! z - 1 !
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
! z z !
! 1 < x < int( ------- ) < ------- ! (2)
! = = 1/n = 1/n !
! 2 2 !
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
! z z !
! ---- < int( ----- ) + 1 < y < (z - 1) ! (3)
! 1/n 1/n = = !
! 2 2 !
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
! n n 1/n n z n 1/n !
! z-int(z -(z -(z-1) ) ) < x < z-int(z -(z -(int(------)+1) ) ) ! (4)
! = = 1/n !
! 2 !
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also the following inequalities holds:
n
n n n z
z - (z-1) < x < --- (5)
2
2
x xy
-------- < -------- < z (6)
n 1/n n 1/n
(x -1) (x -1)
1/n
2
------- < z (7)
1/n
2 -1
n n
1 -(x - 1) 1 x - 1 2 1 1/2
---- > --------- + ------- ( (--------) + --- ) (8)
n n n 2 n n n n 2
z (y - x ) (y - x ) y - x
Fermat's equation has also the following alternative series form:
----------------------------------------------------------
! n 2n 3n !
! z - x y -n (n-1) y -2n (n-1)(2n-1) y -3n !
! ----- = --- z + --------- z + -------------- z +...! (9)
! z n 2 3 !
! 2! n 3! n !
----------------------------------------------------------
! n !
! y k1 !
! --- = constant z + .... , 0 < constant < (z-1) ! (10)
! n = = !
! n !
! y !
! where k1 = int( log ( ---- )), (base-z logarithm) !
! z n !
! !
