Therefore, a cabtaxi candidate is like a cabtaxi number except that it may not be the smallest integer; and, for this project I'll say that it should be from 2 to 4 digits. This set of cabtaxi candidates would include Cabtaxi(2) and Cabtaxi(3) — 91, 728 — as well as the taxicab number, 1729, which is Taxicab(2).
Here are a few of the candidates in the cabtaxi fleet, but probably not all:
91 = 63 – 53 = 33 + 43, Cabtaxi(2)
152 = 63 – 43 = 33 + 53
189 = 63 – 33 = 43 + 53
217 = 93 – 83 = 63 + 13
513 = 93 – 63 = 83 + 13
721 = 93 – 23 = 163 – 153
728 = 93 – 13 = 123 – 103 = 63 + 83, Cabtaxi(3)
1027 = 193 – 183 = 103 + 33
1729 = 13 + 123 = 93 + 103, Taxicab(2)
1736 = 183 – 163 = 123 + 23
3367 = 163 – 93 = 343 – 333
4104 = 183 – 123 = 153 + 93 = 163 + 23
5824 = 183 – 23 = 243 – 203
5859 = 193 – 103 = 273 – 243
7922 = 203 – 23 = 243 – 183
8216 = 383 – 363 = 203 + 63
8587 = 543 – 533 = 193 + 123
From this we should be able to develop a way to use cabtaxi candidates graphically, similar to the coprimes plots.
Two ways to look at Cabtaxi(2):
