We pose 100 new conjectures on representations involving primes or related things, which might interest number theorists and stimulate further research. Below are five typical examples: (i) For any positive integer $n$, there exists…
A pair $(a, b)$ of positive integers is a pythagorean pair if $a^2 + b^2 = \Box$ (i.e., $a^2 + b^2$ is a square). A pythagorean pair $(a, b)$ is called a double-pythapotent pair if there is another pythagorean pair $(k,l)$ such that…
Eberhard proved that for every sequence $(p_k), 3\le k\le r, k\ne 5,7$ of non-negative integers satisfying Euler's formula $\sum_{k\ge3} (6-k) p_k = 12$, there are infinitely many values $p_6$ such that there exists a simple convex…
Generalised Pythagorean triples are integer tuples $(x,y,z)$ satisfying the equation $E_{a,b,c}: ax^2+by^2+cz^2=0$. A significant amount of research has been devoted towards understanding generalised Pythagorean triples and, in particular,…
We explore primitive Pythagorean triples of special forms $(a,b,b+g)$ and $(a,a+f,c)$, with $g,f\in\mathbb{Z}^+$. For each $g$ and $f$, we provide a method to generate infinitely many such primitive triples. Lastly, for each $g$, we…
In this paper, we extend recent work of the third author and Ziegler on triples of integers $(a,b,c)$, with the property that each of $(a,b,c)$, $(a+1,b+1,c+1)$ and $(a+2,b+2,c+2)$ is multiplicatively dependent, completely classifying such…
After a review of the results in arXiv:1203.3184 [math-ph] about Pythagorean inequalities for products of spectral triples, I will present some new results and discuss classes of spectral triples and states for which equality holds.
This paper extends the Pythagorean Theorem to positive and negative real exponents to take the form a^n + b^n = c^n and makes use of the definition gamma = b/a >= 1. For the case of n in the set of positive real numbers, n greater than or…
Let $A=[a_{n,k}]_{n,k\ge 0}$ be an infinite lower triangular matrix defined by the recurrence $$a_{0,0}=1,\quad a_{n+1,k}=r_{k}a_{n,k-1}+s_{k}a_{n,k}+t_{k+1}a_{n,k+1},$$ where $a_{n,k}=0$ unless $n\ge k\ge 0$ and $r_k,s_k,t_k$ are all…
The subject matter of this work is the diophantine equation x^n+y^m=c(x^k)(y^l), where n,m,k,l,c are natural numbers.We investigate this equation from the point of view of positive integer solutions.A preliminary examination of sources such…
In this paper, show that the Diophantine equation $ x^2+(x+1)^2=w^4 $ has only two solutions $ (0,1) $ and $ (119,13)$ in non-negative integers $ x $ and $ w $. This equation concerned a classic problem posed by Pierre de Fermat, wonders…
In this paper we first investigate for what positive integers $a,b,c$ every nonnegative integer $n$ can be represented as $x(ax+1)+y(by+1)+z(cz+1)$ with $x,y,z$ integers. We show that $(a,b,c)$ can be either of the following seven triples:…
The purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of reflecting numbers to the realm of number theory and to classify reflecting numbers of certain types. For us, reflecting numbers are coming from congruent numbers, above congruent…
This article highlights interactions of diverse areas: the Heron formula for the area of a triangle, the Descartes circle equation, and right triangles with integer or rational sides. New and old results are synthesized. We show that every…
Some relations among Pythagorean triples are established. The main tool is a fundamental characterization of the Pythagorean triples through a chatetus which allows to determine relationships with Pythagorean triples having the same…
In one of the three 2010/2011 issues of the journal 'MathematicalSpectrum', this author gave a three-parameter description of the entire set of integral triangles(i.e. triangles with integer side lengths)and with a 120 degree angle.This…
It is well known that Pythagorean triples can be parametrized by two triples of polynomials with integer coefficients. We show that no single triple of polynomials with integer coefficients in any number of variables is sufficient, but that…
Let $a$, $b$, $c$ be fixed coprime positive integers with $\min\{ a,b,c \} >1$. Let $N(a,b,c)$ denote the number of positive integer solutions $(x,y,z)$ of the equation $a^x + b^y = c^z$. We show that if $(a,b,c)$ is a triple of distinct…
Given any positive integer $n$, it is well-known that there always exists a triangle with rational sides $a,b$ and $c$ such that the area of the triangle is $n$. For a given prime $p \not \equiv 1$ modulo $8$ such that $p^{2}+1=2q$ for a…
Nagell proved that for each prime $p\equiv 1\pmod{3}$, $p > 7$, there is a prime $q<2p^{1/2}$ that is a cubic residue modulo $p$. Here we show that for each fixed $\epsilon > 0$, and each prime $p\equiv 1\pmod{3}$ with $p > p_0(\epsilon)$,…
