An open problem of arithmetic Ramsey theory asks if given a finite $r$-colouring $c:\mathbb{N}\to\{1,...,r\}$ of the natural numbers, there exist $x,y\in \mathbb{N}$ such that $c(xy)=c(x+y)$ apart from the trivial solution $x=y=2$. More…
Let $\mathbb{F}$ be a sub-modulus field such that $2 \neq 0$. Let $\mathcal{X}$ be a sub-normed linear space over $\mathbb{F}$. Then we show that \begin{align*} \bigg|\|x\|-\|y\|\bigg|\leq \frac{2}{|2|}\|x+y\|+\frac{2}{|2|}\max\{\|x-y\|,…
Let A be a commutative domain containing Z which is finitely generated as a Z-algebra, and let a,b,c be non-zero elements of A. It follows from work of Siegel, Mahler, Parry and Lang that the equation (*) ax+by=c has only finitely many…
We give bounds on the number of solutions to the Diophantine equation (X+1/x)(Y+1/y) = n as n tends to infinity. These bounds are related to the number of solutions to congruences of the form ax+by = 1 modulo xy.
In this paper we prove new upper bounds for the sum $\sum_{n=a+1}^{a+N}f(n)$, for a certain class of arithmetic functions $f$. Our results improve the previous results of G. Bachman and L. Rachakonda.
This paper examines various aspects related to the Cauchy functional equation $f(x+y)=f(x)+f(y)$, a fundamental equation in the theory of functional equations. In particular, it considers its solvability and its stability relative to…
The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, we derive theoretically, using appropriate transformation on $x_n$, the closed-form solution of the nonlinear difference equation \[ x_{n+1} = \frac{1}{\pm 1 + x_n},\qquad n\in \mathbb{N}_0. \]…
We study some properties of the solutions of the functional equation $$f(x)+f(a_1x)+...+f(a_Nx)=0,$$ which was introduced in the literature by Mora, Cherruault and Ziadi in 1999, for the case $a_k=k+1$, $k=1,2,...,N$ and studied by Mora in…
We consider the equation $$ ab + cd = \lambda, \qquad a\in A, b \in B, c\in C, d \in D, $$ over a finite field $F_q$ of $q$ elements, with variables from arbitrary sets $ A, B, C, D \subseteq F_q$. The question of solvability of such and…
We explain how to use computer experiments over finite fields to gain heuristic information about the solution set of polynomial equations in characteristic zero. These are notes of a tutorial I gave at the NATO Advanced Study Institute on…
The purpose of the present paper is to solve (under some assumption on the domain) the equation $$ g(x+y)-g(x)-g(y)=xf(y)+yf(x). $$ After determining the general solutions, we will investigate the so--called alien solutions. %More…
This paper offers a solution of the functional equation $$ \big(tf(x)+(1-t)f(y)\big)\varphi(tx+(1-t)y)=tf(x)\varphi(x)+(1-t)f(y)\varphi(y) \qquad(x,y\in I), $$ where $t\in\,]0,1[\,$ is a fixed number, $\varphi:I\to\mathbb{R}$ is strictly…
We prove new one-dimensional symmetry results for non-negative solutions, possibly unbounded, to the semilinear equation $ -\Delta u= f(u)$ in the upper half-space $\mathbb{R}^{N}_{+}$. Some Liouville-type theorems are also proven in the…
In this paper, we get several new results on permutation polynomials over finite fields. First, by using the linear translator, we construct permutation polynomials of the forms $L(x)+\sum_{j=1}^k \gamma_jh_j(f_j(x))$ and…

Let $k,\ell\geq2$ be fixed integers and $C$ be an effectively computable constant depending only on $k$ and $\ell$. In this paper, we prove that all solutions of the equation $(x+1)^{k}+(x+2)^{k}+...+(\ell x)^{k}=y^{n}$ in integers $x,y,n$…
In this paper, first we study carefully the positive solutions to $\Delta u+\lambda_{1}u\ln u +\lambda_{2}u^{b+1}=0$ defined on a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold $(M, g)$ with $Ric(g)\geq -Kg$, which can be regarded as…

Let $p$ be a prime integer, $\mathbb{Z}_p$ the finite field of order $p$ and $\mathbb{Z}^{*}_{p}$ is its multiplicative cyclic group. We consider the Diophantine equation $x^n + y^n = z^n$ with $1 \leq n \leq \frac{p - 1}{2}$. Our main aim…
