Hilbert-Waring Theorem/Also known as

Hilbert-Waring Theorem

The Hilbert-Waring Theorem is often referred to as Waring's problem, which was how it was named before David Hilbert proved it in $1909$.

However, Waring's problem is properly used for the particular case $3$ and the particular case $4$.
