%N A060748 Smallest m such that x^3+y^3=m has rank n.
%C A060748 Nick Rogers (rogers(AT)fas.harvard.edu), Jul 03 2003: I have verified 
               that the first 5 entries are correct; the first two are basically 
               trivial and the third is due to Selmer. I'm not sure who first discovered 
               entries 4 and 5 and I expect that they had been previously proved 
               to be the smallest values, (cont.)
%C A060748 but I have rechecked that they are minimal for their respective rank 
               using a combination of 3-descent, MAGMA and John Cremona's program 
               mwrank. (cont.)
%C A060748 There are new smaller values for ranks 6 and 7, namely k = 9902523 has 
               rank 6 and k = 1144421889 has rank 7. 3-descent combined with Ian 
               Connell's package apecs for Maple verifies that these are minimal 
               subject to the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture and the Generalized 
               Riemann Hypothesis for L-functions associated to elliptic curves. 
               (cont.)
%C A060748 Finally, there are new entries for ranks 8 and 9: k = 1683200989470 has 
               rank 8 and k = 148975046052222390 has rank 9. It seems somewhat likely 
               that the rank 8 example is minimal. (end.)
