Ramanujan found five solutions to the exponential Diophantine equation $z^2+7= 2^n$ where $z$ and $n$ are positive integers, and posed the problem of determining whether there are any more. Nagell was the first to prove that there were not.…

In this paper we obtain four new parametric ideal solutions of the Tarry-Escott problem of degree 7, that is, of the simultaneous diophantine equations, $\sum_{i=1}^8x_i^r=\sum_{i=1}^8y_i^r,\;r=1,\,2,\,\dots,\,7$. While all the known…

We investigate a variation of Nicomachus's identity in which one term in the cubic sum is replaced by a different cube. Specifically, we study the Diophantine identity \[ \sum_{j=1}^{n} j^3 + x^3 - k^3 = \left( \sum_{j=1}^{n} j + x - k…
