The Scholz conjecture on addition chain is true for infinitely many integers with ℓ(2n) = ℓ(n)
Abstract
It is known that the Scholz conjecture on addition chains is true for all integers n with ℓ(2n) = ℓ(n) + 1. There exists infinitely many integers with ℓ(2n) ≤ ℓ(n) and we don’t know if the conjecture still holds for them. The conjecture is also proven to hold for integers n with v(n) ≤ 5 and for infinitely many integers with v(n) = 6. There is no specific results on integers with v(n) = 7. In [14], an infinite list of integers satisfying ℓ(n) = ℓ(2n) and v(n) = 7 is given by Thurber. In this paper, we prove that the conjecture holds for all of them.
