The Non-Existence Of A Covering System With All Moduli Distinct, Large And Square-Free, Melissa Kate Bechard
The Non-Existence Of A Covering System With All Moduli Distinct, Large And Square-Free, Melissa Kate Bechard
Theses and Dissertations
The work in this thesis is based on a paper written by Bob Hough in 2013. This thesis addresses the conjecture posed by Erdos that the least modulus for a covering system can be arbitrarily large. Hough proves the least modulus cannot be arbitrarily large. In this thesis, we present Hough’s proof for the case of square-free moduli.
