We present in this article a general approach (in the form of recommendations and guidelines) for tackling Diophantine equation problems (whether single equations or systems of simultaneous equations). The article should be useful in…
In this paper we show that there is no algorithm to decide whether an arbitrarily given polynomial equation $P(z_1,\ldots,z_{52})=0$ (with integer coefficients) over the Gaussian ring $\mathbb Z[i]$ is solvable.

We find a parametric solution of an arbitrary symmetric homogeneous diophantine equation of 5th degree in 6 variables using two primitive solutions. We then generalize this approach to symmetric forms of any odd degree by proving the…
In this book a multitude of Diophantine equations and their partial or complete solutions are presented. How should we solve, for example, the equation {\eta}({\pi}(x)) = {\pi}({\eta}(x)), where {\eta} is the Smarandache function and {\pi}…
Let $\alpha$ be an algebraic number of degree $d\ge 3$ having at most one real conjugate and let $K$ be the algebraic number field ${\mathbf Q}(\alpha)$. For any unit $\epsilon$ of $K$ such that ${\mathbf Q}(\alpha\epsilon)=K$, we consider…
Solutions of a diophantine equation $f(a,b) = g(c,d)$, with $a,b,c,d$ in some finite range, can be efficiently enumerated by sorting the values of $f$ and $g$ in ascending order and searching for collisions. This article considers functions…
