Diophantine triples taking values in recurrence sequences have recently been studied quite a lot. In particular the question was raised whether or not there are finitely many Diophantine triples in the Tribonacci sequence. We answer this…

We study pairs and triples consisting of triangular numbers such that the product of any two distinct elements decreased by 1 is a perfect square. For a positive integer $n$, we establish a necessary condition for the $n$-th triangular…

For non-zero integers $n$ and $k\geq2$, a generalized Diophantine $m$-tuple with property $D_k(n)$ is a set of $m$ positive integers $S = \{a_1,a_2,\ldots, a_m\}$ such that $a_ia_j + n$ is a $k$-th power for $1\leq i< j\leq m$. Define…

For a fixed integer n, a pair of nonzero integers {a, c} is called a D(n)-pair if the product ac plus n is a perfect square. In this short note we prove that D(n)-pairs are asymptotically equidistributed (via their associated quadratic…

Let n be a nonzero integer and a_1 < a_2 < ... <a_m positive integers such that a_i*a_j + n is a perfect square for all 1 <= i < j <= m. It is known that m <= 5 for n = 1. In this paper we prove that m <= 31 for |n| <= 400 and m < 15.476…

For a rational number $q$, a rational $D(q)$-$n$-tuple is a set of $n$ distinct nonzero rationals $\{a_1, a_2, \dots, a_n\}$ such that $a_ia_j+q$ is a rational square for all $1 \leqslant i < j \leqslant n$. For every $q$ we find all…

Let $\mathrm{d}(A)$ be the asymptotic density (if it exists) of a sequence of integers $A$. For any real numbers $0\leq\alpha\leq\beta\leq 1$, we solve the question of the existence of a sequence $A$ of positive integers such that…

Recently, Hajdu and S\'{a}rk\"{o}zy studied the multiplicative decompositions of polynomial sequences. In particular, they showed that when $k \geq 3$, each infinite subset of $\{x^k+1: x \in \mathbb{N}\}$ is multiplicatively irreducible.…

Using the theory of Diophantine m-tuples, i.e. sets with the property that the product of its any two distinct elements increased by 1 is a perfect square, we construct an elliptic curve over Q(t) of rank at least 4 with three non-trivial…

Diophantine tuples are of ancient and modern interest, with a huge literature. In this paper we study Diophantine graphs, i.e., finite graphs whose vertices are distinct positive integers, and two vertices are linked by an edge if and only…

The aim of this paper is to consider the extensibility of the Diophantine triple $\{2,b,c\}$, where $2<b<c$, and to prove that such a set cannot be extended to an irregular Diophantine quadruple. We succeed in that for some families of…

A Diophantine $m$-tuple over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ is a set $\{a_1,\ldots, a_m\}$ of $m$ distinct elements in $\mathbb{F}_{q}^{*}$ such that $a_{i}a_{j}+1$ is a square in $\mathbb{F}_q$ whenever $i\neq j$. In this paper, we study…

Let $F\in\mathbb{Z}[x,y]$ and $m\ge2$ be an integer. A set $A\subset \mathbb{Z}$ is called an $(F,m)$-Diophantine set if $F(a,b)$ is a perfect $m$-power for any $a,b\in A$ where $a\ne b$. If $F$ is a bivariate polynomial for which there…

Let A,K be positive integers and u=-2,-1,1 or 2. The main contribution of the paper is a proof that each of the D(u^2)-triples {K,A^2K+2uA,(A+1)^2K+2u(A+1)} has unique extension to a D(u^2)-quadruple.

A set $\{a, b, c, d\}$ of four non-zero distinct polynomials in $\mathbb{Z}[i][X]$ is said to be a Diophantine $D(4)$-quadruple if the product of any two of its distinct elements increased by 4 is a square of some polynomial in…

A famous problem posed by Diophantus was to find sets of distinct positive rational numbers such that the product of any two is one less than a rational square. Some sets of six such numbers are presented and the computational algorithm…

In the classical sense, the set B consists of all integers which can be written as a sum of two perfect squares. In other words, these are the values attained by norms of integral ideals over the Gaussian field Q(i). G.J. Rieger (1965) and…

A semiprime is a natural number which is the product of two (not necessarily distinct) prime numbers. Let $F(x_1, \ldots, x_n)$ be a degree $d$ homogeneous form with integer coefficients. We provide sufficient conditions, similar to those…

This paper is concerned with the problem of finding two sets of integers, $\{a_1, a_2, \ldots$, $a_m\}$ and $\{b_1, b_2, \ldots, b_n\}$, such that all the $mn$ sums $a_i+b_j, i=1, \ldots, m, j=1, \ldots, n$, are perfect squares. A method is…

In this note we will analyze a diophantine equation raised by Michael Bennett in [1] that is pivotal in establishing that powers of five has few digits in its ternary expansion. We will show that the Diophantine equation…
