Authored summary

The 2019 Charity Engine run searched all solutions with minimum absolute coordinate at most 10^17 and reported none for 114.

The record reports a computation within its stated scope.

Recorded status: supported

Recorded scope: solutions of x^3+y^3+z^3=114 with min(abs(x), abs(y), abs(z)) at most 10^17

2Authored explanation

Booker and Sutherland's algorithm permutes a nonexceptional solution so that \[ |x|>|y|>|z| \] and sets \[ d=|x+y|. \] For \(|z|>\sqrt{k}\), every such solution has \[ 0<d<(\sqrt[3]{2}-1)|z|. \] The exceptional equal-absolute-value cases are handled separately. Consequently, using \(z_{\max}=B\) and \(d_{\max}=(\sqrt[3]{2}-1)B\) searches every solution whose smallest absolute coordinate is at most \(B\).

In September 2019 the authors ran this complete parameter choice for all eleven then-unresolved targets, including 114, with \[ z_{\max}=10^{17},\qquad d_{\max}=(\sqrt[3]{2}-1)10^{17}. \] They report solutions for 42, 165, and 906. No solution for 114 appeared. This covers every triple in the smaller height box \(H\leq10^{17}\), and it also covers every triple in the requested height box having at least one coordinate of absolute value at most \(10^{17}\).

The authors caution that their crowd-sourced searches may contain an undetected hardware or software error. This record therefore preserves the result as exhaustive published computational evidence rather than a formal impossibility proof.
