In this note we will analyze a diophantine equation raised by Michael Bennett in [1] that is pivotal in establishing that powers of five has few digits in its ternary expansion. We will show that the Diophantine equation…

In this paper we consider two new conjectures concerning $D(4)$-quadruples and prove some special cases which support their validity. The main result is a proof that $\{a,b,c\}$ and $\{a+1,b,c\}$ cannot both be $D(4)$-triples.

Let $n$ be a non-zero integer. A set $S$ of positive integers is a Diophantine tuple with the property $D(n)$ if $ab+n$ is a perfect square for each $a,b \in S$ with $a \neq b$. It is of special interest to estimate the quantity $M_n$, the…

Let $[\,\cdot\,]$ denote the floor function. Assume that $\lambda_1, \lambda_2, \lambda_3, \lambda_4, \lambda_5$ are nonzero real numbers, not all of the same sign, that $\lambda_1/\lambda_2$ is irrational, and that $\eta$ is a real number.…

We study the Diophantine equation $\displaystyle{\tfrac{a+1}{b} + \tfrac{b+1}{a} \ = \ k}$, where $k$ is an integer. Using Vieta jumping, we completely classify all positive integer pairs $(a, \, b)$. We prove that the associated integer…

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…

In this paper, we prove that there are no $k$-th power Diophantine triples of the form $\{a^k,b,c\}$ for $k\geq 3$ and $1<a^k<b<c$.

Let f(n)=1 if n=1, 2^(2^(n-2)) if n \in {2,3,4,5}, (2+2^(2^(n-4)))^(2^(n-4)) if n \in {6,7,8,...}. We conjecture that if a system T \subseteq {x_i+1=x_k, x_i \cdot x_j=x_k: i,j,k \in {1,...,n}} has only finitely many solutions in positive…

The object of this paper is to give a new proof of all the solutions of the Diophantine equation x^2+11^m=y^n; in positive integers x, y with odd m>1 and n>=3.

A set of m distinct positive integers {a_{1},...a_{m}} is called a Diophantine m-tuple if a_{i}a_{j}+n is a square for each 1\leqi<j\leqm . The aim of this study is to show that some P_{k} sets can not be extendible to a Diophantine…

The title equation is completely solved in integers $(n,x,y,a,b)$, where $n\geq 3$, $\gcd(x,y)=1$ and $a,b\geq 0$. The most difficult stage of the resolution is the explicit resolution of a quintic Thue-Mahler equation. Since it is for the…

In this paper we study the Diophantine equation \begin{align*} b^k + \left(a+b\right)^k + &\left(2a+b\right)^k + \ldots + \left(a\left(x-1\right) + b\right)^k = \\ &y\left(y+c\right) \left(y+2c\right) \ldots \left(y+…

Let $1<c<\frac{1787}{1502}$ and $N$ be a sufficiently large real number. In this paper, it is proved that for any arbitrarily large number $E>0$ and for almost all real $R \in (N,2N]$, the Diophantine inequality…

For any given real number $\alpha$ with bounded partial quotients, we construct explicitly continuum many real numbers $\beta$ with bounded partial quotients for which the pair $(\alpha, \beta)$ satisfies a strong form of the Littlewood…

The search of solutions of the Diophantine equation $x^3 + y^3 + z^3 = k$ for $k<1000$ has been extended with bounds of $|x|$, $|y|$ and $|z|$ up to $10^{15}$. The first solution for $k=74$ is reported. This only leaves $k=33$ and $k=42$…

Diophantine approximation is the problem of approximating a real number by rational numbers. We propose a version of this in which the numerators are approximately related to the denominators by a Laurent polynomial. Our definition is…

We prove that for every integer $n$, there exist infinitely many $D(n)$-triples which are also $D(t)$-triples for $t\in\mathbb{Z}$ with $n\ne t$. We also prove that there are infinitely many triples with the property $D(-1)$ in…

Recently, Hajdu and S\'{a}rk\"{o}zy studied the multiplicative decompositions of polynomial sequences. In particular, they showed that when $k \geq 3$, each infinite subset of $\{x^k+1: x \in \mathbb{N}\}$ is multiplicatively irreducible.…

Let $1<k<7/6$, $\lambda_1,\lambda_2,\lambda_3$ and $\lambda_4$ be non-zero real numbers, not all of the same sign such that $\lambda_1/\lambda_2$ is irrational and let $\omega$ be a real number. We prove that the inequality…

We prove that every Diophantine quadruple in $\mathbb{R}[X]$ is regular. More precisely, we prove that if $\{a, b, c, d\}$ is a set of four non-zero polynomials from $\mathbb{R}[X]$, not all constant, such that the product of any two of its…
