We consider Diophantine quintuples $\{a, b, c, d, e\}$, sets of distinct positive integers the product of any two elements of which is one less than a perfect square. Triples of the first kind are the subsets $\{a, b, d\}$ with $d> b^{5}$.…

The aim of this paper is to consider the extensibility of the Diophantine triple $\{2,b,c\}$, where $2<b<c$, and to prove that such a set cannot be extended to an irregular Diophantine quadruple. We succeed in that for some families of…

In this paper, we give an upper bound on the number of extensions of a triple to a quadruple for the Diophantine $m$-tuples with the property $D(4)$. We also confirm the conjecture of the uniqueness of such an extension in some special…

Let $(a_1,\dots, a_m)$ be an $m$-tuple of positive, pairwise distinct, integers. If for all $1\leq i< j \leq m$ the prime divisors of $a_ia_j+1$ come from the same fixed set $S$, then we call the $m$-tuple $S$-Diophantine. In this note we…

In this note we consider the title Diophantine equation from both theoretical as well as experimental point of view. In particular, we prove that for $k=4, 6$ and each choice of the signs our equation has infinitely many co-prime positive…

A set of $m$ positive integers $\{a_1, a_2, \dots , a_m\}$ is called a Diophantine $m$-tuple if $a_i a_j + 1$ is a perfect square for all $1 \le i < j \le m$. In 2004 Dujella proved that there is no Diophantine sextuple and that there are…

We study the solutions of a Diophantine equation of the form $a^x+b^y=c^z$, where $a\equiv 2 \pmod 4$, $b\equiv 3 \pmod 4$ and $\gcd (a,b,c)=1$. The main result is that if there exists a solution $(x,y,z)=(2,2,r)$ with $r>1$ odd then this…

In this paper we solve the Diophantine equation $\binom{m}{l}-\binom{n}{k}=d$ (where m,n are positive integers unknowns) when (k,l)=(3,6) for various values of d and when (k,l)=(8,2) and d=1. As a byproduct of our results we will obtain…

Let $a,b,c$ be fixed coprime positive integers with $\min\{a,b,c\}>1$. In this paper, by analyzing the gap rule for solutions of the ternary purely exponential diophantine equation $a^x+b^y=c^z$, we prove that if $\max\{a,b,c\}\geq…

Motivated by the theory of Diophantine $m$-tuples, we study rational points on quadratic twists $H^d:d y^2=(x^2+6x-18)(-x^2+2x+2)$, where $|d|$ is a prime. If we denote by $S(X)=\{ d \in \mathbb{Z}: H^d(\mathbb{Q})\ne \emptyset, |d|…

A set $\{a, b, c, d\}$ of four non-zero distinct polynomials in $\mathbb{Z}[i][X]$ is said to be a Diophantine $D(4)$-quadruple if the product of any two of its distinct elements increased by 4 is a square of some polynomial in…

A nontrivial solution of the equation A!B! = C! is a triple of positive integers (A, B, C) with A $\le$ B $\le$ C -- 2. It is conjectured that the only nontrivial solution is (6, 7, 10), and this conjecture has been checked up to C = 10 6.…

A rational Diophantine $m$-tuple is a set $\{a_1,\ldots,a_m\}$ of distinct nonzero rational numbers such that $a_i a_j+1$ is a square for all $1\leq i < j\leq m$. Similarly, we may ask when $a_ia_j+1$ is a $k$-th power. Here, we study the…

We consider the number of solutions in positive integers $(x,y,z)$ for the purely exponential Diophantine equation $a^x+b^y =c^z$ (with $\gcd(a,b)=1$). Apart from a list of known exceptions, a conjecture published in 2016 claims that this…

Let $d$ be a positive integer. Let $p$ be a prime number. Let $\alpha$ be a real algebraic number of degree $d+1$. We establish that there exist a positive constant $c$ and infinitely many algebraic numbers $\xi$ of degree $d$ such that…

We report the fourth known primitive solution to the Diophantine equation $a^5 + b^5 + c^5 + d^5 = e^5$, extending the list of solutions from 1966, 1996, and 2004. This result was obtained via a large-scale computational search based on an…

Let (a,b,c) be a primitive Pythagorean triple, i.e., a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2} with gcd(a,b,c)=1, a even and b odd. Terai's conjecture says that the Diophantine equation x^{2}+b^{y}=c^{z} has only the positive integer solutions (x,y,z)=(a,2,2). In…

By finding all integral points on certain elliptic and hyperelliptic curves we completely solve the Diophantine equation $\binom{n}{k}=\binom{m}{l}+d$ for $-3\leq d\leq 3$ and $(k,l)\in\{(2,3),\; (2,4),\;(2,5),\; (2,6),\; (2,8),\; (3,4),\;…
