Let Pm, k denote the set of pyramidal numbers

1.1

The question has been asked whether there exist elements p, q, r in Pm, k such that p+q = r or, as the problem is usually posed,

1.2

The case k=2 has been studied by Sierpinski [6] and Khatri [3]; the case k=3 by Oppenheim [4] and Segal [5]; recently Fraenkel [2] has generalized (1.1) to the larger set

1.3
