COMMENT

Note that the given formulae generate 1 + 12^3 = 9^3 + 10^3 = 1729 for n=1. In this case b(1) < c(1), whereas b(n) > c(n) for n > 1.

Contribution from Lewis Mammel (l_mammel(AT)att.net), Aug 21 2008: (Start)

In Ramanujan's parametric equation:

(ax+y)^3 + (b+x^2y)^3 = (bx+y)^3 + (a+x^2y)^3

where

a^2 + ab + b^2 = 3xy^2

This sequence is obtained by setting a=0, y=1 and finding the solution to b^2=3x:

b=3n, x=3n^2 (End)

FORMULA

With a(n) = 9*n^4 + 3*n b(n) = 9*n^4 c(n) = 9*n^3 + 1 1 + a(n)^3 = b(n)^3 + c(n)^3, by substitution and expansion

With a(n) = 9*n^4 + 3*n, b(n) = 9*n^4 and c(n) = 9*n^3 + 1, we have 1 + a(n)^3 = b(n)^3 + c(n)^3, by substitution and expansion [From Lew Mammel (l_mammel(AT)att.net), Aug 09 2008]
