A motivated q-extension of the values of the Riemann zeta function at positive integers is presented. Several irrationality and transcendence results as well as new general problems for these q-zeta values are stated.
First, we consider the equation $ax^2 - by^2 + c = 0$, with $a,b \in N*$ and $c \in Z*$, which is a generalization of Pell's equation. Here, we show that: if this equation has an integer solution and $ab$ is not a perfect square, then it…
The author surveys the problem of piecing together integral or rational solutions to Diophantine equations (global structure) from solutions modulo congruences and real solutions (local structure).
By the theory of elliptic curves, we study the nontrivial rational parametric solutions and rational solutions of the Diophantine equations $z^2=f(x)^2 \pm f(y)^2$ for some simple Laurent polynomials $f$.
We survey classical and recent results on exponents of Diophantine approximation. We give only a few proofs and highlight several open problems.
The two parameter generalization of the complete elliptic integral of the second kind discussed recently by Barsan is expressed in terms of ordinary complete elliptic integrals.
For any given positive definite binary quadratic form $Q$ with integer coefficients, we establish two results on Diophantine approximation with integers represented by $Q$. Firstly, we show that for every irrational number $\alpha$, there…
We discuss several open problems in Diophantine approximation. Among them there are famous Littlewood's and Zaremba's conjectures as well as some new and not so famous problems.
We solve the Diophantine equations $x^5 + y^5 = dz^p$ with $d=2, 3$ for a set of prime numbers of density 1/4, 1/2, respectively. The method consists in relating a possible solution to another Diophantine equation and solving the later by…
In this paper, by using the theory of elliptic curves, we discuss several Diophantine equations related with the so-called figurate primes. Meanwhile, we raise several conjectures related with figurate primes and Hilbert's 8th problem,…
We prove that for given integers b and c, the diophantine equation x^2+bx+c=y^2, has finitely many integer solutions(i.e. pairs in ZxZ),in fact an even number of such solutions(including the zero or no solutions case).We also offer an…
We investigate thin-slit diffraction problems for two-dimensional lattice waves. The peculiar structure allows us to consider the problems on the semi-infinite triangular lattice, consequently, we study Dirichlet problems for the…
This article wants to show two things: first, that certain problems in Diophantus' Arithmetica lead to equations defining del Pezzo surfaces or other rational surfaces, while certain others lead to K3 surfaces; second, that Diophantus' own…
This survey article is an introduction to Diophantine Geometry at a basic undergraduate level. It focuses on Diophantine Equations and the qualitative description of their solutions rather than detailed proofs.
We study integrals over the triangle with vertices (1,0), (0,1), (1,1) that give linear combinations of multiple zeta values.
The relevance of this paper lies in the fact that it resolves two previously unsolved open problems. In the first part of the paper, a new lemma is proved, from which it follows that if there exists a triangle with integer sides and…
Motivated by questions in cryptography, we look for diophantine equations that are hard to solve but for which determining the number of solutions is easy.
In this paper, we gave solutions of the Diophantine equations 16^{x}+p^{y}=z^{2}, 64^{x}+p^{y}=z^{2} where p is an odd prime, n is a positive integer and x,y,z are non-negative integers. Finally we gave a generalization of the Diophantine…
This paper investigates bipartite variants of generalized Diophantine tuples and their applications. We generalize a result of Bugeaud--Dujella on a special family of bipartite Diophantine tuples and affirmatively resolve a related question…
The work deals with the existence of solutions of a certain system of quadratic integral equations in H^2(R^d,R^N), d = 2, 3. We demonstrate the existence of a perturbed solution by virtue of a fixed point technique.
