In this paper, we establish two mean value theorems for the number of solutions of the Diophantine equation $\frac{a}{n}=\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}$, in the case when $a$ is fixed and $n$ varies and in the case when both $a$ and $n$ vary.

We refine a recent result of Parsell on the values of the form $\lambda_1p_1 + \lambda_2p_2 + \mu_1 2^{m_1} + ...m + \mu_s 2^{m_s}, $ where $p_1,p_2$ are prime numbers, $m_1,...c, m_s$ are positive integers, $\lambda_1 / \lambda_2$ is…

If $k$ is a sufficiently large positive integer, we show that the Diophantine equation $$n (n+d) \cdots (n+ (k-1)d) = y^{\ell}$$ has at most finitely many solutions in positive integers $n, d, y$ and $\ell$, with $\operatorname{gcd}(n,d)=1$…

We show that for infinitely many square-free integers q there exist infinitely many triples of rational numbers {a, b, c} such that a^2 + q, b^2 + q, c^2 + q, ab + q, ac + q and bc + q are squares of rational numbers.

Naciri proved that for any integer $k\geq2$, the Brocard--Ramanujan equation $n!+1=x^2$ has only finitely many integer solutions, assuming $x\pm1$ is a $k$-free integer or a prime power. In the present paper we prove similar statements for…

Catalan's conjecture claims that the Diophantine equation $x^p-y^q=1$ admits the unique solution $3^2-2^3=1$ in integers $x,y,p,q \ge 2$. The conjecture has been finally proved by P. Mih\u{a}ilescu (2002) using the theory of cyclotomic…

Let $Q_1,...,Q_r\in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ be polynomials having $0$ as a root. Let $f(x,y)\in\mathbb{Z}[x,y]$ be a homogeneous polynomial with factorization $f(x,y)=f_1(x,y)^{e_1}\cdots f_u(x,y)^{e_u}$, where $f_i(x,y)$ are irreducible homogeneous…

By using pairs of nontrivial rational solutions of congruent number equation $$ C_N:\;\;y^2=x^3-N^2x, $$ constructed are pairs of rational right (Pythagorean) triangles with one common side and the other sides equal to the sum and…

In this paper, we summarize the work on ternary Diophantine equation of the form $Ax^n+By^n=cz^m$, where $m \in \{2,3,n\} $, $n\geqslant 7 $ is a prime. Moreover, we completely solve some particular cases ($A=5^{\alpha}, ~B=64,~ c=3, ~m=2;…

Let $1<k<7/6$, $\lambda_1,\lambda_2,\lambda_3$ and $\lambda_4$ be non-zero real numbers, not all of the same sign such that $\lambda_1/\lambda_2$ is irrational and let $\omega$ be a real number. We prove that the inequality…

Let lambda_1, \lambda_2, \lambda_3, \lambda_4 be non-zero real numbers, not all negative, with \lambda_1/\lambda_2 irrational and algebraic. Suppose that \mathcal{V} is a well-spaced sequence and \delta >0. In this paper, it is proved that…

In this paper, we give all the solutions of the Diophantine equation x^2+7^{alpha}.11^{beta}=y^n, in nonnegative integers x, y, n>=3 with x and y coprime, except for the case when alpha.x is odd and beta is even.

We show that if {1, b, c, d} is a D(-1) diophantine quadruple with b<c<d and c=1+s^2, then the cases s=p^k, s=2p^k, c=p and c=2p^k do not occur, where p is an odd prime and k is a positive integer. For the integer d=1+x^2, we show that it…

We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the solvability of a rank one differential (resp. $q$-difference) equation over the Amice's ring. We also extend to that ring a Birkoff decomposition result, originally due to Motzkin.

We consider Dirichlet elliptic equations driven by the sum of a $p$-Laplacian $(2<p)$ and a Laplacian. The conditions on the reaction term imply that the problem is resonant at both $\pm\infty$ and at zero. We prove an existence theorem…

This note discusses the existence of prime numbers in short intervals. An unconditional elementary argument seems to prove the existence of primes in the short intervals [x, x + y], where y >= x^(1/2)(log x)^e, e > 0, and a sufficiently…

Let $K\geq 2$ be a natural number and $a_i,b_i\in\mathbb{Z}$ for $i=1,\ldots,K-1$. We use the large sieve to derive explicit upper bounds for the number of prime $k$-tuplets, i.e., for the number of primes $p\leq x$ for which all $a_ip+b_i$…

The distribution of $\alpha p$ modulo one, where $p$ runs over the rational primes and $\alpha$ is a fixed irrational real, has received a lot of attention. It is natural to ask for which exponents $\nu>0$ one can establish the infinitude…

Given an integer $m \geq 2$ and a sufficiently large $q$, we apply a variant of the Maynard--Tao sieve weight to establish the existence of an arithmetic progression with common difference $q$ for which the $m$-th least prime in such…

For two odd primes $p$ and $q$ such that $p<q$, let $A(p,q):=(a_k)_{k=1}^{\infty}$ be the arithmetic progression whose $k$th term is given by $a_k=(k-1)(q-p)+p$ (i.e., with $a_1=p$ and $a_2=q$). Here we conjecture that for every positive…
