Leyland Number
In number theory, a Leyland number is a number of the form :x^y + y^x where ''x'' and ''y'' are integers greater than 1. They are named after the mathematician Paul Leyland. The first few Leyland numbers are : 8, 17, 32, 54, 57, 100, 145, 177, 320, 368, 512, 593, 945, 1124 . The requirement that ''x'' and ''y'' both be greater than 1 is important, since without it every positive integer would be a Leyland number of the form ''x''1 + 1''x''. Also, because of the commutative property of addition, the condition ''x'' ≥ ''y'' is usually added to avoid double-covering the set of Leyland numbers (so we have 1 < ''y'' ≤ ''x''). Leyland primes A Leyland prime is a Leyland number that is . The first such primes are: : 17,[...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Leyland Cypress
The Leyland cypress, ''Cupressus'' × ''leylandii'', × ''Cuprocyparis leylandii'' or × ''Cupressocyparis leylandii'', often referred to simply as leylandii, is a fast-growing coniferous evergreen tree much used in horticulture, primarily for hedges and screens. Even on sites of relatively poor culture, plants have been known to grow to heights of in 16 years. Their rapid, thick growth means they are sometimes used to achieve privacy, but such use can result in disputes with neighbours whose own property becomes overshadowed. The tree is a hybrid of Monterey cypress (''Cupressus macrocarpa'') and Nootka cypress ('' Cupressus nootkatensis''). It is almost always sterile, and is propagated mainly by cuttings. History In 1845, the Leighton Hall, Powys estate was purchased by the Liverpool banker Christopher Leyland. In 1847, he gave it to his nephew John Naylor (1813–1889).
