Representations of integers as quotients of sums of distinct powers of three
read the original abstract
Which integers can be written as a quotient of sums of distinct powers of three? We outline our first steps toward an answer to this question, beginning with a necessary and almost sufficient condition. Then we discuss an algorithm that indicates whether it is possible to represent a given integer as a quotient of sums of distinct powers of three. When the given integer is representable, this same algorithm generates all possible representations. We develop a categorization of representations based on their connections to $0,1$-polynomials and give a complete description of the types of representations for all integers up to 364. Finally, we discuss in detail the representations of 7, 22, 34, 64, and 100, as well as some infinite families of integers.
