So for sparse integers of fixed number of terms we can (subject to coprimality constraints and the generalized abc conjecture) efficiently zero-test sparse integers as there are only finitely many cases where the exponents can be "large". I wonder if it's possible to remove the reliance on the abc conjecture (and fixed number of terms) since the general question is such a special instance of the conjecture... [but since that wasn't the question I asked, I deem this to be an answer] | |
