By first solving the equation $x^3+y^3+z^3=k$ with fixed $k$ for $z$ and then considering the distance to the nearest integer function of the result, we turn the sum of three cubes problem into an optimisation one. We then apply three…

Let $n$ be a cubefree natural number and $p\geq 5$ be a prime number. Assume that $n$ is not expressible as a sum of the form $x^3+y^3$, where $x,y\in \mathbb{Q}$. In this note, we study the solutions (or lack thereof) to the equation…

In the current paper we are seeking P1(y),P2(y),P3(y) with the highest possible degree polynomials with integer coefficients, and Q(y) via the lowest possible degree polynomial, such that P1(y)^3+P2(y)^3+P3(y)^3=Q(y). Actually, the solution…

We give conditions on the rational numbers a,b,c which imply that there are infinitely many triples (x,y,z) of rational numbers such that x+y+z=a+b+c and xyz=abc. We do the same for the equations x+y+z=a+b+c and x^3+y^3+z^3=a^3+b^3+c^3.…

In a 2011 paper published in the journal "Asian Journal of Algebra"(see reference[1]), the authors consider, among other equations,the diophantine equations 2xy=n(x+y) and 3xy=n(x+y). For the first equation, with n being an odd positive…

We investigate pairs of diagonal cubic equations with integral coefficients. For a class of such Diophantine systems with 11 or more variables, we are able to establish that the number of integral solutions in a large box is at least as…

We study the equation $(x-4r)^3 + (x-3r)^3 + (x-2r)^3+(x-r)^3 + x^3 + (x+r)^3+(x+2r)^3 + (x+3r)^3 + (x+4r)^3 = y^p$, which is a natural continuation of previous works carried out by A. Arg\'{a}ez-Garc\'{i}a and the fourth author (perfect…

The subject matter of this work is the diophantine equation x^n+y^m=c(x^k)(y^l), where n,m,k,l,c are natural numbers.We investigate this equation from the point of view of positive integer solutions.A preliminary examination of sources such…

In this article, we consider the problem of determining formulas for the number of representations of a natural number $n$ by a sum of figurate numbers with certain positive integer coefficients. To achieve this, we prove that the…

An important unsolved problem in Diophantine number theory is to establish a general method to effectively find all solutions to any given $S$-unit equation with at least four terms. Although there are many works contributing to this…

Permutations can be represented as linear combinations of natural numbers with different powers. In this paper, its coefficient matrix and inverse matrix is derived, and the results show the coefficient matrix is a lower triangular matrix…

We prove a conjecture posted in the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, namely that there are exactly five positive integers that can be written in more than one way as the sum of a nonnegative power of 2 and a nonnegative power of 3.…

This paper is concerned with the diophantine system, $\sum_{i=1}^{s_1} x_i^r=\sum_{i=1}^{s_2} y_i^r,\, r=1,\,2,\,\ldots,\,k, $ where $s_1$ and $s_2$ are integers such that the total number of terms on both sides, that is, $s_1+s_2,$ is as…

This survey paper is not a complete reference guide to number-theoretical applications of ergodic theory. Instead, it considers an approach to a class of problems involving Diophantine properties of $n$-tuples of real numbers, namely,…

We obtain asymptotic upper bounds for the number of natural solutions of the following diagonal Diophantine equations in a hypercube with side - $N$ in the paper: $x_1 = x_2^k+...+x_s^k$, $x_1^k = x_2^k+...+x_s^k$, $x_1 = \sum_{j=2}^s…

In this paper we determine the perfect powers that are sums of three fifth powers in an arithmetic progression. More precisely, we completely solve the Diophantine equation $$ (x-d)^5 + x^5 + (x + d)^5 = z^n,~n\geq 2, $$ where $d,x,z \in…

For a given irrational number, we consider the properties of best rational approximations of given parities. There are three different kinds of rational numbers according to the parity of the numerator and denominator, say odd/odd, even/odd…

In this paper we obtain new parametric ideal solutions of the Tarry-Escott problem of degrees 2, 3 and 5, that is, of the diophantine systems $\sum_{i=1}^{k+1}x_i^j=\sum_{i=1}^{k+1}y_i^j,\;j=1,\,2,\,\dots,\,k$, when $k$ is 2, 3 or 5. When…

For an integer $k\geq 2$, let $(F_{n}^{(k)})_{n}$ be the $k-$Fibonacci sequence which starts with $0,\ldots,0,1$ ($k$ terms) and each term afterwards is the sum of the $k$ preceding terms. In this paper, we search for powers of 2 which are…

Using a recent result of Salberger, we establish the paucity of non-trivial positive integer solutions to a certain system of diagonal Diophantine equations.
