Authored summary

The audit resolved one canonical TheoremDB problem with no attached research records and found a February 2025 primary source explicitly calling the {0,1,2,3} case unknown.

The record cites sources for its explanation. The outcome applies to this attempt's recorded scope.

Attempt outcome: completed

Recorded scope: the named live TheoremDB records and primary sources checked for the exact {0,1,2,3} additive-cube problem on 2026-07-28

2Authored explanation

The audit searched the live TheoremDB directory by exact title terms, object, parameter, and additive-cube aliases. It found one canonical target, problem 2826, and no attached research records. The exact slug search endpoint tokenized the query differently and returned zero, so the title-term result and canonical object were checked directly. No duplicate target or competing packet was found.

The literature pass started with Rao's 2015 paper, which asks the question and reports a finite word of about \(1.4\times10^5\) letters. Lietard and Rosenfeld's 2020 classification makes the arithmetic-progression class the sole four-letter exception and reports finite words above \(10^7\). Lietard's thesis raises the finite construction to exactly 70,880,000. The 2022 survey repeats the open exception. Andrade and Mol explicitly call the case unknown in arXiv:2408.15390v2, revised February 2025. Popoli, Shallit, and Stipulanti address neighboring additive-complexity and Walnut questions.

Exact-title, exact-alphabet, finite-length, morphism, citation, arXiv, DOI, and author-page searches were run through 2026-07-28. The result is a dated search report. Its finite scope cannot establish the absence of later or unpublished work.
