[#R680] The literature gives ordinary squarefree-gap data, while the rainbow restriction remains unlocated

View evidenceOpen source ↗

1Summary

Published searches certify the surrounding ordinary gaps, but the distinct square-prime matching variant did not appear in the sources reviewed.

Marmet gives an Eratosthenes-style algorithm for first occurrences of runs of nonsquarefree integers and reports the first runs through length 18. Mossinghoff, Oliveira e Silva, and Trudgian independently study the empirical distribution of squarefree gaps through \(10^{18}\). Kumchev, McCormick, McNew, Park, Scherr, and Ziehr cite those computations when proving explicit universal gap bounds.

Focused searches combined `squarefree gap`, `consecutive nonsquarefree`, `distinct prime squares`, `system of distinct representatives`, `Hall matching`, and `rainbow` with the cited authors and sequence data. The sources found treat ordinary gap length or its distribution. None imposes a different square-prime divisor at each interior position. This audit supports the upper bound and leaves novelty of the matching restriction unverified.

Supported evidence. Replay readiness: source only.
