Using Cilleruelo's method, we establish an explicit lower bound $N_l$ depending on $l$ such that for all $n\\geq N_l$, $\\prod_{k=1}^n (2k^2+l)$ is not a square. As an application, we determine all values of $n$ such that $\\prod_{k=1}^n (2k^2+l)$ is a square for certain values of $l$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2023-12-11T15:00:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11D09", "11C08", "11A15" ], "keywords": [ "explicit lower bound", "cilleruelos method", "positive odd integer", "application" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
