We obtain an essentially optimal estimate for the moment of order 32/3 of the exponential sum having argument $\alpha x^3+\beta x^2$. Subject to modest local solubility hypotheses, we thereby establish that pairs of diagonal Diophantine…

We are motivated by a result of Alzer and Luca who presented all the integer solutions to the relations $(k!)^n-k^n=(n!)^k-n^k$ and $(k!)^n+k^n=(n!)^k+n^k$. We modify the equations by considering the double factorial instead and present all…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ denote the ring of polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_q$, the finite field of $q$ elements. We prove an estimate for fractional parts of polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ satisfying a certain divisibility condition…

We discuss the formal aspects of the factorial polynomials and of the associated series. We develop the theory using the formalism of quasi-monomials and prove the usefulness of the method for the solutions of nontrivial difference…

The equation $f^n+g^n=1$, $n\in\mathbb{N}$ can be regarded as the Fermat Diophantine equation over the function field. In this paper we study the characterization of entire solutions of some system of Fermat type functional equations by…

We study solvability of the Diophantine equation \begin{equation*} \frac{n}{2^{n}}=\sum_{i=1}^{k}\frac{a_{i}}{2^{a_{i}}}, \end{equation*} in integers $n, k, a_{1},\ldots, a_{k}$ satisfying the conditions $k\geq 2$ and $a_{i}<a_{i+1}$ for…

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…

We consider Diophantine inequalities of the kind |f(x)| \le m, where F(X) \in Z[X] is a homogeneous polynomial which can be expressed as a product of d homogeneous linear forms in n variables with complex coefficients and m\ge 1. We say…

We investigate the integer solutions of Diophantine equations related to Lehmer's totient conjecture. We give an algorithm that computes all nontrivial spoof Lehmer factorizations with a fixed number of factors, and enumerate all nontrivial…

The representation of the solution of some Backward Stochastic Differential Equation as an infinite series is obtained. Some exactly solvable examples are considered.

Let us denote by $F_n$ the $n$-th Fibonacci number. In this paper we show that for a fixed integer $y$ there exists at most one integer exponent $a>0$ such that the Diophantine equation $F_n+F_m=y^a$ has a solution $(n,m,a)$ in positive…
