The main conclusion is: If there exist both an OLKF(6^k) and a 3-OLGKS(6^k-1,4) for all k ∈{6,7,...,40}/{8,17,21,22,25,26}, then there exists an OLKTS(v) for any v ≡ 3 (mod 6), v ≠ 21. As well, we obtain the following result: There exists an OLKTS(6u + 3) for u = 2^2n-1 - 1, 7^n, 31^n, 127^n, 4^r25^s, where n ≥ 1,r+s≥ 1.展开更多
