Let m be the mean value of number of terms of $\displaystyle H_{N}$ with condition(*) . For the bound close to 2 , $\displaystyle N=4$ ; For the bound close to 3 , $\displaystyle N=8$. Now $\displaystyle m=\lfloor \frac{b_1 + b_2 }{2} \rfloor =\lfloor \frac{8+4}{2}\rfloor=12/2=6$ , so $\displaystyle N>6$. Thanks from topsquark Last edited by idontknow; May 17th, 2019 at 04:44 AM.
