I succeeded to obtain the general expression for arbitrary
.
The expression is given by
We can obtain any
with arranging
pieces of
signs.
The solution without alphabetical functions still is unknown.
The next possible generalization of the problem must be in terms of the different base number from "4" (e.g. three "3"s, five "5"s, ... N "N"s). It is considered that one "1" problem seems to be impossible to be solved. But we know the answer that it's possible. See the following equation
This equation uses only 1.
Though I do not know if we have a solution without symbols considered
as a number (as e,
, i and etc.) in one "1" problem, I know
answers for N "N"s problem (N-piece-of-"N" problem)
in the case
as follows.
In the case N = 5 + 2m,
is given by
In the case N = 4 + 2m,
is given by
In each equation, there are m pieces of (N-N)=0 added with no effect
(underlined parts).
If you could have an expression for
with non-alphabetical symbols
in the general case (N "N"s problem), please inform me.
