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…
We study the value distribution of the Sudler product $\prod_{n=1}^N |2 \sin (\pi n \alpha )|$ and the Diophantine product $\prod_{n=1}^N (2e\| n \alpha \|)$ for various irrational $\alpha$, as $N$ ranges in a long interval of integers. At…
We answer a question raised by Alam and Ghosh concerning an error term for a spiralling result in Diophantine approximation by rationals in a number field. The proof relies on a generalisation of Rogers' Mean Value Theorem to algebraic…
For an odd integer $d > 1$ and a finite Galois extension $K/\mathbb{Q}$ of degree $d$, G. L\"{u} and Z. Yang \cite{lu3} obtained an asymptotic formula for the mean values of the divisor function for $K$ over square integers. In this…
We find all solutions of Diophantine equation x^{2}+11^{2k} = y^{n} where x>=1, y>=1, n>=3 and k is natural number. We give p-adic interpretation of this equation.

Let $a>1$ be an integer. Denote by $l_a(n)$ the multiplicative order of $a$ modulo integer $n\geq 1$. We prove that there is a positive constant $\delta$ such that if $x^{1-\delta}\log^3 x = o(y)$, then $$ \frac1y \sum_{a<y} \frac1x…
An Egyptian fraction is a sum of distinct unit fractions (reciprocals of positive integers). We show that every rational number has Egyptian fraction representations where the number of terms is of the same order of magnitude as the largest…
We study Riemann-type functional equations with respect to value-distribution theory and derive implications for their solutions. In particular, for a fixed complex number $a\neq0$ and a function from the Selberg class $\mathcal{L}$, we…
Let us denote by $F_n$ the $n$-th Fibonacci number. In this paper we show that for a fixed integer $y$ there exists at most one integer exponent $a>0$ such that the Diophantine equation $F_n+F_m=y^a$ has a solution $(n,m,a)$ in positive…
We prove a strong simultaneous Diophantine approximation theorem for values of additive and multiplicative functions provided that the functions have certain regularity on the primes.
In this work, we investigate the existence of positive solutions for a multi-point boundary value problem for a second order delay differential equation. Under certain growth conditions on the nonlinearity, and by the mean of Leray-Schauder…
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…
We propose a method to determine the solvability of the diophantine equation $x^2-Dy^2=n$ for the following two cases: $(1)$ $D=pq$, where $p,q\equiv 1 \mod 4$ are distinct primes with $(\frac{q}{p})=1$ and…
A Diophantine $m$-tuple is a set $A$ of $m$ positive integers such that $ab+1$ is a perfect square for every pair $a,b$ of distinct elements of $A$. We derive an asymptotic formula for the number of Diophantine quadruples whose elements are…

Let $a>1$ be an integer. Denote by $l_a(p)$ the multiplicative order of $a$ modulo primes $p$. We prove that if $\frac{x}{\log x\log\log x}=o(y)$, then $$\frac 1 y \sum_{a\leq y}\sum_{p\leq x}\frac{1}{l_a(p)}=\log x + C\log\log…
