Comments

Distance d is equal to 0 when x = k^2 and y = k^5.

For d values, see A179406.

For x values, see A179407.

Conjecture (from Artur Jasinski):

For any positive number x >= A179407(n), the distance d between fifth power of x and the square of any y (such that x != k^2 and y != k^5) can't be less than A179406(n).
