Let $a, b\in \mathbb{N}$ be relatively prime. Previous work showed that exactly one of the two equations $ax + by = (a-1)(b-1)/2$ and $ax + by + 1 = (a-1)(b-1)/2$ has a nonnegative, integral solution; furthermore, the solution is unique.…

We explicitly construct a diffeomorphic pair (p(x),p^{-1}(x)) in terms of an appropriate quadric spline interpolating the prime series. These continuously differentiable functions are the smooth analogs of the prime series and the prime…

The main aim of this article is to find all solutions of the Diophantine equation $x^2 + p^k=y^n$ where $p \equiv 1 \pmod 4$, $\frac{p-1}{3}$ is a perfect square and the class number of $\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{-p}]$ is $2$. In this article, I…

New formulae are presented for the number $P(b)$ of non-negative integer solutions of a Diophantine equation $\sum_{i=1}^{n}a_ix_i=b$ and for the number $Q(b)$ of non-negative integer solutions of the Diophantine inequality…

We consider the Diophantine inequality \[ \left| p_1^{c} + p_2^{c} + p_3^c- N \right| < (\log N)^{-E} , \] where $1 < c < \frac{15}{14}$, $N$ is a sufficiently large real number and $E>0$ is an arbitrarily large constant. We prove that the…

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…

We prove a refined version of Markov's theorem in Diophantine approximation. More precisely, we characterize completely the set of irrationals $x$ such that $\left|x-\frac{p}{q}\right|<\frac{1}{3q^2}$ has only finitely many rational…

In this paper, we consider the Diophantine equation $(-1)^{\alpha}p^x+(-1)^{\beta}(2^k(2p+1))^y=z^2$ for Sophie Germain prime $p$ with $\alpha, \beta \in\{0,1\}$, $\alpha\beta=0$ and $k\geq 0$. First, for $p=2$, we solve three Diophantine…

In [1] it is shown that the Diophantine equation $(k!)^n+k^n=(n!)^k+n^k$ only has the trivial solution $n=k$, and $(k!)^n-k^n=(n!)^k-n^k$ only has the solutions $n=k$, $(n, k)=(1, 2),$ and $(2, 1)$. In this article we find all solutions of…
