Let $\ell$ and $p$ be (not necessarily distinct) prime numbers and $F$ be a global function field of characteristic $\ell$ with field of constants $\kappa$. Assume that there exists a prime $P_\infty$ of $F$ which has degree $1$, and let…

For each integer $n\geq 1$ we consider the unique polynomials $P, Q\in\mathbb{Q}[x]$ of smallest degree $n$ that are solutions of the equation $P(x)x^{n+1}+Q(x)(x+1)^{n+1}=1$. We derive numerous properties of these polynomials and their…

Let m>=1 be an arbitrary fixed integer and let N_m(x) count the number of odd integers u<=x such that the order of 2 modulo u is not divisible by m. In case m is prime estimates for N_m(x) were given by H. Mueller that were subsequently…

We investigate the Lebesgue--Nagell equation \begin{align*} x^2-2=y^p \end{align*} in integers $x,y,p$ with $p\geq 3$ an odd prime. A longstanding folklore conjecture asserts that the only solutions are the ``trivial'' ones with $y=-1$. We…

Let $A\subset \N_{+}$ and by $P_{A}(n)$ denotes the number of partitions of an integer $n$ into parts from the set $A$. The aim of this paper is to prove several result concerning the existence of integer solutions of Diophantine equations…

This paper is a continuation of [1], in which I studied Harvey Friedman's problem of whether the function f(x,y) = x^2 + y^3 satisfies any identities; however, no knowledge of [1] is necessary to understand this paper. We will break the…

The work deals with the studies of the existence of solutions of an integro-differential equation in the situation of the difference of the standard Laplacian and the bi-Laplacian in the diffusion term. The proof of the existence of…

Motivated by questions in cryptography, we look for diophantine equations that are hard to solve but for which determining the number of solutions is easy.

We study one-variable equations over the lamplighter group $\MZ_2 \wr \MZ$. While the decidability of arbitrary equations over $L_2$ remains open, we prove that the Diophantine problem for single equations in one variable is decidable. Our…

The main idea of this article is simply calculating integer functions in module. The algebraic in the integer modules is studied in completely new style. By a careful construction, a result is proven that two finite numbers is with unequal…

In this paper we charatcterize primes of the form $x^2+dy^2$ with $x\equiv 0\pmod{N}$ or $y\equiv 0\pmod{N}$ for positive integer $N$ and $d$ with $d$ being square free.

Let $\mathbb{Z}^{ab}$ be the ring of integers of $\mathbb{Q}^{ab}$, the maximal abelian extension of $\mathbb{Q}$. We show that there exists an algorithm to decide whether a system of equations and inequations, with integer coefficients,…

In 2002, F. Luca and G. Walsh solved the Diophantine equation in the title for all pairs (a,b) such that 1<a<b<101 with some exceptions. There are sixty nine exceptions. In this paper, we give some new results concerning the equation in the…

We investigate a family of Diophantine polynomial equations which involve continuant functions. In particular, given a polynomial $P(x)\in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ and $n\in \mathbb{N}$, we consider the equation $P(K_n(x_1,\ldots, x_n)) =…
