In this paper we investigate Diophantine equations of the form $T^2=G(\overline{X}),\; \overline{X}=(X_{1},\ldots,X_{m})$, where $m=3$ or $m=4$ and $G$ is specific homogenous quintic form. First, we prove that if…

We present a complete formalization, in the Lean interactive theorem prover with the Mathlib library, of the Ramanujan--Nagell theorem: the only integer solutions to the Diophantine equation $x^2 + 7 = 2^n$ are $(n,x) \in…

Naciri proved that for any integer $k\geq2$, the Brocard--Ramanujan equation $n!+1=x^2$ has only finitely many integer solutions, assuming $x\pm1$ is a $k$-free integer or a prime power. In the present paper we prove similar statements for…

The Diophantine equation (x^n-1)/(x-1)=y^q has four known solutions in integers x, y, q and n with |x|, |y|, q > 1 and n > 2. Whilst we expect that there are, in fact, no more solutions, such a result is well beyond current technology. In…

As an application of the method of Thue-Siegel, we will resolve a conjecture of Walsh to the effect that the Diophantine equation $aX^{4} - bY^2=1$, for fixed positive integers $a$ and $b$, possesses at most two solutions in positive…

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…

Let $a,b,c$ be fixed coprime positive integers with $\min\{a,b,c\}>1$. In this paper, combining the Gel'fond-Baker method with an elementary approach, we prove that if $\max\{a,b,c\}>5\times 10^{27}$, then the equation $a^x+b^y=c^z$ has at…

In this paper, first, we prove that the Diophantine system \[f(z)=f(x)+f(y)=f(u)-f(v)=f(p)f(q)\] has infinitely many integer solutions for $f(X)=X(X+a)$ with nonzero integers $a\equiv 0,1,4\pmod{5}$. Second, we show that the above…

Suppose that $n$ is a positive integer. In this paper, we show that the exponential Diophantine equation $$(n-1)^{x}+(n+2)^{y}=n^{z},\ n\geq 2,\ xyz\neq 0$$ has only the positive integer solutions $(n,x,y,z)=(3,2,1,2), (3,1,2,3)$. The main…

In [1] it is shown that the Diophantine equation $(k!)^n+k^n=(n!)^k+n^k$ only has the trivial solution $n=k$, and $(k!)^n-k^n=(n!)^k-n^k$ only has the solutions $n=k$, $(n, k)=(1, 2),$ and $(2, 1)$. In this article we find all solutions of…
