Asymptotic Improvements of Lower Bounds for the Least Common Multiples of Arithmetic Progressions
By: Daniel M. Kane and Scott Duke Kominers
For relatively prime positive integers and r, we consider the least common multiple L_n:=\mathop{\textrm{lcm}}(u_0,u_1,\dots, u_n) of the finite arithmetic progression \{u_k:=u_0+kr\}_{k=0}^n. We derive new lower bounds on L_n that improve upon those obtained... View Details

Further Improvements of Lower Bounds for the Least Common Multiples of Arithmetic Progressions
By: Shaofang Hong and Scott Duke Kominers
For relatively prime positive integers u_0 and r, we consider the arithmetic progression {u_k := u_0+k*r} (0 <= k <= n). Define L_n := lcm{u_0,u_1,...,u_n} and let a >= 2 be any integer. In this paper, we show that, for integers alpha,r >= a and n >=... View Details
