We consider the number of solutions in positive integers $(x,y,z)$ for the purely exponential Diophantine equation $a^x+b^y =c^z$ (with $\gcd(a,b)=1$). Apart from a list of known exceptions, a conjecture published in 2016 claims that this…
We show that every cubic form with coefficients in an imaginary quadratic number field $K/\mathbb{Q}$ in at least $14$ variables represents zero non-trivially. This builds on the corresponding seminal result by Heath-Brown for rational…
The study of finiteness or infiniteness of integer solutions of a Diophantine equation has been considered as a standard problem in the literature. In this paper, for f(x) in Z[x] monic and q1 ,...., qm in Z, we study the conditions for…
In this paper, we proved that there are infinite cube--free numbers of the form $[n^c]$ for any fixed real number $1<c<11/6$.
We consider a puzzle such that a set of colored cubes is given as an instance. Each cube has unit length on each edge and its surface is colored so that what we call the Surface Color Condition is satisfied. Given a palette of six colors,…
We consider Diophantine equations of the shape $ f(x) = g(y) $, where the polynomials $ f $ and $ g $ are elements of power sums. Using a finiteness criterion of Bilu and Tichy, we will prove that under suitable assumptions infinitely many…
The conditions for cubic equations, to have 3 real roots and 2 of the roots lie in the closed interval $[-1, 1]$ are given. These conditions are visualized. This question arises in physics in e.g. the theory of tops.
We describe a strategy to attack infinitely many Fermat-type equations of signature $(r,r,p)$, where $r \geq 7$ is a fixed prime and $p$ is a prime allowed to vary. We use a variant of the modular method over totally real subfields of…
In this paper we consider $N$, the number of solutions $(x,y,u,v)$ to the equation $ (-1)^u r a^x + (-1)^v s b^y = c$ in nonnegative integers $x, y$ and integers $u, v \in \{0,1\}$, for given integers $a>1$, $b>1$, $c>0$, $r>0$ and $s>0$.…
A rational perfect cuboid is a rectangular parallelepiped whose edges and face diagonals are given by rational numbers and whose space diagonal is equal to unity. It is described by a system of four quadratic equations with respect to six…
For each $\lambda \in \mathbb N^*$, we consider the integral equation: \[ \int_{\lambda y} ^{\lambda x} f(t)\, d t = f(x) - f(y) \mbox{ for every $(x,y)\in {\mathbb R}_+^2$,} \] where $f$ is the concatenation of two continuous functions…
Let $f(x, y) \in \mathbb{Z}[x, y]$ be a cubic form with non-zero discriminant, and for each integer $m \in \mathbb{Z}$, let, $N_{f}(m)=\#\left\{(x, y) \in \mathbb{Z}^{2}: f(x, y)=m\right\} $. In 1983, Silverman proved that…
In this paper, we study the parabolic equations of the form $$ \left\{ \begin{array}{rcll} Lu(y,t) &=& f, \qquad &(y,t)\in Q,\\ u(y,t)&=& 0, \qquad &(y,t)\in \partial Q, \\ u(y,t)&& \hspace{-8mm}\mbox{is uniformly bounded from below},…
In this paper we consider the set of mu-types, an extension of the set of simple types freely generated from a set of atomic types and the type constructor ->, by a new operator mu, to explicitly denote solutions of recursive equations like…
We study the solutions of a Diophantine equation of the form $a^x+b^y=c^z$, where $a\equiv 2 \pmod 4$, $b\equiv 3 \pmod 4$ and $\gcd (a,b,c)=1$. The main result is that if there exists a solution $(x,y,z)=(2,2,r)$ with $r>1$ odd then this…
We prove that, for every integer $n \ge 2$, a finite or infinite countable group $G$ can be embedded into a 2-generated group $H$ in such a way that the solvability of quadratic equations of length at most $n$ is preserved, i.e., every…

Erd\"os and Obl\'ath proved that the equation $n!\pm m!=x^p$ has only finitely many integer solutions. More general, under the ABC-conjecture, Luca showed that $P(x)=An!+Bm!$ has finitely many integer solutions for polynomials of degree…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field with $q=p^n$ elements. In this paper, we study the number of solutions of equations of the form $a_1 x_1^{d_1}+\dots+a_s x_s^{d_s}=b$ with $x_i\in\mathbb{F}_{p^{t_i}}$, where $b\in\mathbb{F}_q$ and…
