This brief survey deals with multi-dimensional Diophantine approximations in sense of linear form and with simultaneous Diophantine approximations. We discuss the phenomenon of degenerate dimension of linear subspaces generated by the best…
We provide a simple proof of the existence of dark solitons of the defocusing cubic nonlinear Schrodinger equation with periodic inhomogeneous nonlinearity. Moreover, our proof allows for a broader class of inhomogeneities and gives some…
In a series of four papers we determine structures whose existence is dual, in the sense of complementary, to the existence of stars or combs. In the first paper of our series we determined structures that are complementary to arbitrary…
One of the most interesting results of the last century was the proof completed by Matijasevich that computably enumerable sets are precisely the diophantine sets [MRDP Theorem, 9], thus settling, based on previously developed machinery,…
If $N={q^k}{n^2}$ is an odd perfect number given in Eulerian form, then Sorli's conjecture predicts that $k=\nu_{q}(N)=1$. In this article, we give some further results related to this conjecture and those contained in the papers…
In this paper, by using the theory of elliptic curves, we discuss several Diophantine equations related with the so-called figurate primes. Meanwhile, we raise several conjectures related with figurate primes and Hilbert's 8th problem,…
We prove that there exist infinitely many rationals a, b and c with the property that a^2-1, b^2-1, c^2-1, ab-1, ac-1 and bc-1 are all perfect squares. This provides a solution to a variant of the problem studied by Diophantus and Euler.
In this paper, we sharpen earlier work of the first author, Luca and Mulholland, showing that the Diophantine equation $$ A^3+B^3 = q^\alpha C^p, \, \, ABC \neq 0, \, \, \gcd (A,B) =1, $$ has, for "most" primes $q$ and suitably large prime…
In this paper we investigate three unsolved conjectures in geometric combinatorics, namely Falconer's distance set conjecture, the dimension of Furstenburg sets, and Erdos's ring conjecture. We formulate natural $\delta$-discretized…
The classical combinatorial problem of $36$ officers has no solution, as there are no Graeco-Latin squares of order six. The situation changes if one works in a quantum setup and allows for superpositions of classical objects and admits…
We prove that finite-dimensional Jacobian algebras associated with non-degenerate quivers with potentials satisfy the stable Brauer-Thrall II' conjecture. In particular, this implies that the brick Brauer-Thrall II' conjecture (also known…
A body cuboid is a rectangular parallelepiped with integer edges and integer face diagonals; if its space diagonal is also integer, it is a perfect cuboid, whose existence is a long-standing open problem. We make two contributions to the…
In this paper we prove a conjecture that $D(4)$-quintuple does not exist using both classical and new methods. Also, we give a new version of the Rickert's theorem that can be applied on some $D(4)$-quadruples.
We consider the Dirichlet problem for a class of elliptic and parabolic equations in the upper-half space $\mathbb{R}^d_+$, where the coefficients are the product of $x_d^\alpha, \alpha \in (-\infty, 1),$ and a bounded uniformly elliptic…
A well-known conjecture of Caratheodory states that the number of umbilic points on a closed convex surface in ${\mathbb E}^3$ must be greater than one. In this paper we prove this for $C^{3+\alpha}$-smooth surfaces. The Conjecture is first…
We give a short proof of the fact that there are no measurable subsets of Euclidean space (in dimension d > 2), which, no matter how translated and rotated, always contain exactly one integer lattice point. In dimension d=2 (the original…
We discover suprising connections between three seemingly different problems: finding right triangles with rational sides in a non-Euclidean geometry, finding three integers such that the difference of the squares of any two is a square,…
A perfect (Delaunay) ellipsoid is an ellipsoid in n-dimensional Euclidean space that does not contain integral points in its interior, but is uniquely defined by integral points that lie on its surface. A perfect Delaunay polytope with…
For a given quadratic equation with any number of unknowns in any free group F, with right-hand side an arbitrary element of F, an algorithm for solving the problem of the existence of a solution was given by Culler. The problem has been…
In this paper, we prove the existence of two-dimensional solutions to the steady Euler-Poisson system with continuous transonic transitions across sonic interfaces of codimension 1. First, we establish the well-posedness of a boundary value…
