We give upper and lower bounds for the largest integer not representable as positive linear combination of three given integers, disproving an upper bound conjectured by Beck, Einstein and Zacks.

Suppose $F$ is an infinite field and let $f \in F\{X_1, \dots,X_m\}$ be a noncommutative polynomial. Partially answering a query of Makar-Limanov, we show that there are numbers $d$ and $m'$ such that, if $F$ is closed under taking $d$th…

This paper presents a group of analytical formulas for calculating the global maximal and minimal ranks and inertias of the quadratic matrix-valued function $\phi(X) = (\, AXB + C\,)M(\, AXB + C)^{*} + D$ and use them to derive necessary…

As an application of the method of Thue-Siegel, we will resolve a conjecture of Walsh to the effect that the Diophantine equation $aX^{4} - bY^2=1$, for fixed positive integers $a$ and $b$, possesses at most two solutions in positive…

In this paper, we prove an asymptotic formula for the average number of solutions to the Diophantine equation $axy-x-y=n$ in which $a$ is fixed and and $n$ varies.

Let A be an arbitrary integral domain of characteristic 0 which is finitely generated over Z. We consider Thue equations $F(x,y)=b$ with unknowns x,y from A and hyper- and superelliptic equations $f(x)=by^m$ with unknowns from A, where the…

We establish upper bounds on the lengths of minimal conjugators in 2-step nilpotent groups. These bounds exploit the existence of small integral solutions to systems of linear Diophantine equations. We prove that in some cases these bounds…

We focus on formulae $\exists X.\, \varphi(\vec{Y}, X)$ of monadic second-order logic over the full binary tree, such that the witness $X$ is a well-founded set. The ordinal rank $\mathrm{rank}(X) < \omega_1$ of such a set $X$ measures its…

Nonlinear matrix equations are encountered in many applications of control and engineering problems. In this work, we establish a complete study for a class of nonlinear matrix equations. With the aid of Sherman Morrison Woodbury formula,…

In this paper, we use some extension of the Cayley-Hamilton theorem to find a family of matrices with integer entries that satisfy the non-linear Diophantine equation $ x^{n}+y^{p}=z^{q}$ where $n,p$ and $q$ are arbitrary positive integers.

We solve Diophantine equations of the type $ a \, (x^3 \!+ \! y^3 \!+ \! z^3 ) = (x \! + \! y \! + \! z)^3$, where $x,y,z$ are integer variables, and the coefficient $a\neq 0$ is rational. We show that there are infinite families of such…

Let Pi: M -> B be an onto maximal rank map or a Riemannian submersion between Riemannian manifolds M and B. Initially, we prove necessary and sufficient conditions for any fiber F to be roughly isometric to M. Then, we prove necessary and…

In this paper, we consider the equation $(a^n-2^{m})(b^n-2^{m})=x^2$. By assuming the abc conjecture is true, in [8], Luca and Walsh gave a theorem, which implies that the above equation has only finitely many solutions $n,x$ if a and b are…
