Streszczenie
We consider weighted sums of generalized polygonal numbers with coefficients $1$ or $2$. We show that for any $m\ge 10$, a weighted sum of generalized $m$-gonal numbers represents every non-negative integer if it represents $1$, $m-4$, and $m-2$. Furthermore, we study representations of sums of four generalized polygonal numbers with coefficients $1$ or $2$.
