We investigate the existence of representations of every large positive integer as a sum of $k$-th powers of integers represented as certain diagonal forms. In particular, we consider a family of diagonal forms and discuss the problem of…

Fix an integer $n\ge 2$. To each non-zero point $\mathbf{u}$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, one attaches several numbers called exponents of Diophantine approximation. However, as Khintchine first observed, these numbers are not independent of each…

We prove that the Diophantine equation N X^2 + 2^L 3^M = Y^N has no solutions (N,X,Y,L,M) in positive integers with N > 1 and gcd(NX,Y) = 1, generalizing results of Luca, Wang and Wang, and Luca and Soydan. Our proofs use results of Bilu,…

Let $\zeta$ be a real transcendental number. We introduce a new method to find upper bounds for the classical exponent $\widehat{w}_{n}(\zeta)$ concerning uniform polynomial approximation. Our method is based on the parametric geometry of…

Given an integer mxn matrix A satisfying certain regularity assumptions, we consider the set F(A) of all integer vectors b such that the associated knapsack polytope P(A,b)={x: Ax=b, x>=0} contains an integer point. When m=1 the set F(A) is…

We derive a closed expression for the number of nonnegative solutions of a certain system of linear Diophantine equations. The motivation comes from high energy physics where the nonnegative solutions play a crucial role in the perturbative…

In this article we further develop methods for representing integers as a sum of three cubes. In particular, a barrier to solving the case $k=3$, which was outlined in a previous paper of the second author, is overcome. A very recent…

Let $0<\lambda\leq1$, $\lambda\notin\left\{\frac24, \frac27, \frac2{10}, \frac2{13}, \ldots\right\}$, be a real and $p$ a prime number, with $[p,p+\lambda p]$ containing at least two primes. Denote by $f_\lambda(p)$ the largest integer…

We show that the diophantine equation $n^\ell+(n+1)^\ell + ...+ (n+k)^\ell=(n+k+1)^\ell+ ...+ (n+2k)^\ell$ has no solutions in positive integers $k,n \ge 1$ for all $\ell \ge 3$.

The purpose of this paper is to give a complete derivation of the limiting distribution of large Frobenius numbers outlined in earlier work of J. Bourgain and Ya. Sinai and fill some gaps formulated there as hypotheses.

We show that the decidability of an amplification of Hilbert's Tenth Problem in three variables implies the existence of uncomputably large integral points on certain algebraic curves. We obtain this as a corollary of a new positive…

Motivated by a question of V. Bergelson and F. K. Richter (2017), we obtain asymptotic formulas for the number of relatively prime tuples composed of positive integers $n\le N$ and integer parts of polynomials evaluated at $n$. The error…

We study solvability of the Diophantine equation \begin{equation*} \frac{n}{2^{n}}=\sum_{i=1}^{k}\frac{a_{i}}{2^{a_{i}}}, \end{equation*} in integers $n, k, a_{1},\ldots, a_{k}$ satisfying the conditions $k\geq 2$ and $a_{i}<a_{i+1}$ for…

The sufficient conditions for solvability of a linear Diophantine equation $\sum_{i=1}^{n}a_ix_i=b$ (with $a_1,a_2,...,a_n\in \mathbb{N}$) in non-negative integers $x_1,x_2,...,x_n$ are given. The explicit formulas are given for Frobenius…

We classify, according to their computational complexity, integer optimization problems whose constraints and objective functions are polynomials with integer coefficients and the number of variables is fixed. For the optimization of an…

In this paper, it is shown that if F(x , y) is an irreducible binary form with integral coefficients and degree $n \geq 3$, then provided that the absolute value of the discriminant of F is large enough, the equation |F(x , y)| = 1 has at…

Let a and b be positive, relatively prime integers. We show that the following are equivalent: (i) d is a dead end in the (symmetric) Cayley graph of Z with respect to a and b, (ii) d is a Frobenius value with respect to a and b (it cannot…
