Let $q\ge 2$ be a prime power. In this note we present a formulation for obtaining the known $(q+1,8)$-cages which has allowed us to construct small $(k,g)$--graphs for $k=q-1, q$ and $g=7,8$. Furthermore, we also obtain smaller…

We solve the diophantine equations x^4 + d y^2 = z^p for d=2 and d=3 and any prime p>349 and p>131 respectively. The method consists in generalizing the ideas applied by Frey, Ribet and Wiles in the solution of Fermat's Last Theorem, and by…

In this paper, we show that for almost all primes p there is an integer solution x in [2,p-1] to the congruence x^x == x mod p. The solutions can be interpretated as fixed points of the map x -> x^x mod p, and we study numerically and…
