We study multiplicative dependence between terms of the $k$-generalized Pell sequence $(P_n^{(k)})_{n\ge 2-k}$, defined by the linear recurrence \[ P_n^{(k)} = 2P_{n-1}^{(k)} + P_{n-2}^{(k)} + \dots + P_{n-k}^{(k)}, \] with initial…

The analysis of many physical phenomena can be reduced to the study of solutions of differential equations with polynomial coefficients. In the present work, we establish the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of…

In this paper, we study the nonlinear Choquard equation \begin{eqnarray*} \Delta^{2}u-\Delta u+(1+\lambda a(x))u=(R_{\alpha}\ast|u|^{p})|u|^{p-2}u \end{eqnarray*} on a Cayley graph of a discrete group of polynomial growth with the…

We solve completely the Lebesgue-Nagell equation x^2+D=y^n, in integers x, y, n>2, for D in the range 1 =< D =< 100.

For an integer $k \geq 2$, let $\{ P_{n}^{(k)} \}_{n}$ be the $k$-generalized Pell sequence which starts with $0, \dots,0,1$($k$ terms) and each term afterwards is the sum of $k$ preceding terms. In this paper, we find all the solutions of…

Orthogonal polynomials of degree $n$ with respect to the weight function $W_\mu(x) = (1-\|x\|^2)^\mu$ on the unit ball in $\RR^d$ are known to satisfy the partial differential equation $$ [ \Delta - \la x, \nabla \ra^2 - (2 \mu +d) \la x,…

We show, assuming Schanuel's conjecture, that every irreducible complex polynomial in two variables where both variables appear has infinitely many algebraically independent solutions of the form (z,e^z).

Using elementary number theory we study Diophantine equations over the rational integers of the following form, $y^2=(x+a)(x+a+k)(x+b)(x+b+k)$, $y^2=c^2x^4+ax^2+b$ and $y^2=(x^2-1)(x^2-\alpha^2)(x^2-(\alpha+1)^2).$ We express their integer…

We propose a method to determine the solvability of the diophantine equation $x^2-Dy^2=n$ for the following two cases: $(1)$ $D=pq$, where $p,q\equiv 1 \mod 4$ are distinct primes with $(\frac{q}{p})=1$ and…

Given positive integers $j,k$, with $j\geq 2$, we show that there are positive integers $d,e$ such that $\sqrt{d}$ has continued fraction expansion $\sqrt{d}=[e,\overline{k,\dots,k,2e}]$, with period $j$, if and only if $k$ is even or…

We consider a class of particular solutions to the (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) $u_t +\partial_{x_2}^n u_{x_1} - u_{x_1} u =0$ (here $n$ is any integer) reducing it to the ordinary differential equation…

Rational approximations to a square root $\sqrt{k}$ can be produced by iterating the transformation $f(x) = (dx+k)/(x+d)$ starting from $\infty$ for any positive integer $d$. We show that these approximations coincide infinitely often with…

In this paper, we explore the relationship between repdigits and associated Pell numbers, specifically focusing on two main aspects: expressing repdigits as the difference of two associated Pell numbers, and identifying which associated…

We investigate the zeros of polynomial solutions to the differential-difference equation \[ P_{n+1}(x)=A_{n}(x)P_{n}^{\prime}(x)+B_{n}(x)P_{n}(x), n=0,1,... \] where $A_{n}$ and $B_{n}$ are polynomials of degree at most 2 and 1…

Let $\alpha,\beta,\gamma\in\mathbb{N}$. We prove that given an $r$-colouring of $\mathbb{F}_p$ with $p$ prime, there are more than $c_{r,\alpha,\beta,\gamma} p^2$ solutions to the equation $x^\alpha+y^\beta=z^\gamma$ with all of $x,y,z$ of…

In this paper, we define a new product over $\mathbb{R}^{\infty}$, which allows us to obtain a group isomorphic to $\mathbb R^*$ with the usual product. This operation unexpectedly offers an interpretation of the R\'edei rational functions,…

Periodic integer continued fractions (PICFs) are generalization of the regular periodic continued fractions (RPCFs). It is classical that a RPCF expansion of an irrational number is unique. However, it is no longer unique for a PICF…
