This paper provides a thorough exploration of the absolute value equations $Ax-|x|=b$, a seemingly straightforward concept that has gained heightened attention in recent years. It is an NP-hard and nondifferentiable problem and equivalent…

We establish that every set of $k=10$ natural numbers determines at least $30$ distinct pairwise sums or at least $30$ distinct pairwise products, as well as the analogous result for $k=11$ and at least $34$ sums/products, with sharpness…

In this work, we accomplish three goals. First, we determine the entire family of positive integer solutions to the three- variable Diophantine equation, xy=z^2; for n=2,3,4,5,6. For n=2, we obtain a 3-parameter family of solutions; for…

In this article, we study the solutions of certain type over $K$ of the Diophantine equation $x^2= By^p+Cz^p$ with prime exponent $p$, where $B$ is an odd integer and $C$ is either an odd integer or $C=2^r$ for $r \in \mathbb{N}$. Further,…

We improve earlier work on the title equation (where $p$ and $q$ are primes and $c$ is a positive integer) by allowing $x$ and $y$ to be zero as well as positive. Earlier work on the title equation showed that, with listed exceptions, there…

Using only elementary arguments, Cassels solved the Diophantine equation $(x-1)^3+x^3+(x+1)^3=z^2$ in integers $x$, $z$. The generalization $(x-1)^k+x^k+(x+1)^k=z^n$ (with $x$, $z$, $n$ integers and $n \ge 2$) was considered by Zhongfeng…

In this work, we consider the rational points on elliptic curves over finite fields F_{p}. We give results concerning the number of points on the elliptic curve y^2{\equiv}x^3+a^3(mod p)where p is a prime congruent to 1 modulo 6. Also some…

It appears that, along with many of my friends and colleagues, I had been brainwashed by the great and tragic lives of Abel and Galois to believe that no general formulas are possible for roots of equations higher than quartic. This seemed…

We look at the number of solutions of an equation of the form f_1*f_2*...*f_k=a in a finite field, where each f_i is a multilinear polynomial. We use two methods to construct a solution of this problem for the cases a=0, a<>0, and we…

A new numerical method for solving a scalar ordinary differential equation with a given initial condition is introduced. The method is using a numerical integration procedure for an equivalent integral equation and is called in this paper…

The surface $z^2=ay^2+P(x), \, a \in k, \, P(x) \in k[x]$ is not $k$-rational, if $a \not\in k^2$ and $P(x)$ satisfies some conditions. This result essentially due to Iskovskih but his statement is in terms of algebraic geometry, and not so…

In this paper, we study the existence and multiplicity results of nontrivial positive solutions to a quasilinear elliptic equation in $\RN$, when $N\geq2$, as \begin{equation} \Lp…

In this paper, using a basic algebraic approach, we demonstrate that, if the integers $x,y$ and $z$ are pairwise relatively prime, and $x^p-my^p=zw$ where $m$ is an integer and $p$ is a prime, then we can write $x,y,m,z$ and $w$ as explicit…

We study a class of elliptic problems, involving a $k$-Hessian and a very fast-growing nonlinearity, on a unit ball. We prove the existence of a radial singular solution and obtain its exact asymptotic behavior in a neighborhood of the…

In this paper we count the number of k-potent elements over HZp , the quaternion algebra over Zp, and we give a descriptive formula for the general case. For k in {3, 4, 5}, we give an explicit formula for these values. Moreover, as an…

First, we consider the equation $ax^2 - by^2 + c = 0$, with $a,b \in N*$ and $c \in Z*$, which is a generalization of Pell's equation. Here, we show that: if this equation has an integer solution and $ab$ is not a perfect square, then it…

Stiller proved that the Diophantine equation $x^2+119=15\cdot 2^{n}$ has exactly six solutions in positive integers. Motivated by this result we are interested in constructions of Diophantine equations of Ramanujan-Nagell type…

It is conjectured that for any fixed relatively prime positive integers $a,b$ and $c$ all greater than 1 there is at most one solution to the equation $a^x+b^y=c^z$ in positive integers $x,y$ and $z$, except for specific cases. In this…

Elliptic equation $(y')^2=a_0+a_2y^2+a_4y^4$ is the foundation of the elliptic function expansion method of finding exact solutions to nonlinear differential equation. In some references, some new form solutions to the elliptic equation…

We classify all solutions (p,q) to the equation p(u)q(u)=p(u+b)q(u+a) where p and q are complex polynomials in one indeterminate u, and a and b are fixed but arbitrary complex numbers. This equation is a special case of a system of…
