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),\;…

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…

Motivated by the recent result of Farhi we show that for each $n\equiv \pm 1\pmod{6}$ the title Diophantine equation has at least two solutions in integers. As a consequence, we get that each (even) perfect number is a sum of three cubes of…

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…
