We study the distribution of the values of the form $\lambda_1 p_1 + \lambda_2 p_2 + \lambda_3 p_3^k$, where $\lambda_1$, $\lambda_2$ and $\lambda_3$ are non-zero real number not all of the same sign, with $\lambda_1 / \lambda_2$…

Let A(n) be a $k\times s$ matrix and $m(n)$ be a $k$ dimensional vector, where all entries of A(n) and $m(n)$ are integer-valued polynomials in $n$. Suppose that $$t(m(n)|A(n))=#\{x\in\mathbb{Z}_{+}^{s}\mid A(n)x=m(n)\}$$ is finite for each…

We refine a recent result of Parsell on the values of the form $\lambda_1p_1 + \lambda_2p_2 + \mu_1 2^{m_1} + ...m + \mu_s 2^{m_s}, $ where $p_1,p_2$ are prime numbers, $m_1,...c, m_s$ are positive integers, $\lambda_1 / \lambda_2$ is…

A Pythagorean n-tuple is an integer solution of x_1^2+...+x_{n-1}^2=x_n^2. For n=4 and n=6, the Pythagorean n-tuples admit a parametrization by a single n-tuple of polynomials with integer coefficients (which is impossible for n=3). For…

In this paper, we extend recent work of the third author and Ziegler on triples of integers $(a,b,c)$, with the property that each of $(a,b,c)$, $(a+1,b+1,c+1)$ and $(a+2,b+2,c+2)$ is multiplicatively dependent, completely classifying such…

Given a positive integer $M$ and a real number $q \in (1,M+1]$, an expansion of a real number $x \in \left[0,M/(q-1)\right]$ over the alphabet $A=\{0,1,\ldots,M\}$ is a sequence $(c_i) \in A^{\mathbb N}$ such that…

We refine a result of W.P. Li and Wang on the values of the form $ \lambda_1p_1 + \lambda_2p_2^{2} + \lambda_3p_3^{2} + \mu_1 2^{m_1} +...+ \mu_s 2^{m_s}, $ where $p_1,p_2,p_3$ are prime numbers, $m_1,..., m_s$ are positive integers,…

Let Q be an infinite set of positive integers. Denote by W(Q) the set of n-tuples of real numbers simultaneously tau-well approximable by infinitely many rationals with denominators in Q but only by finitely many rationals with denominators…

Matom\"aki proved that if $\alpha\in \mathbb{R}$ is irrational, then there are infinitely many primes $p$ such that $|\alpha-a/p|\le p^{-4/3+\varepsilon}$ for a suitable integer a. In this paper, we extend this result to all quadratic…

The main purpose of this paper is to prove that the positive real numbers can be decomposed into finitely many disjoint pieces which are also closed under addition and multiplication. As a byproduct of the argument we determine all the…

Let \(\mathcal{P}(n)\) be the set of partitions of the positive integer \(n\). For \(\alpha=(\alpha_1,...,\alpha_t) \in \mathcal{P}(n)\) define the diagonal sequence \(\delta(\alpha)=(d_k(\alpha))_{k \geq 1}\) via \( d_k(\alpha) =…

Fix an integer $n\ge 2$. To each non-zero point $\mathbf{u}$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, one attaches several numbers called exponents of Diophantine approximation. However, as Khintchine first observed, these numbers are not independent of each…

We prove that every Diophantine quadruple in $\mathbb{R}[X]$ is regular. More precisely, we prove that if $\{a, b, c, d\}$ is a set of four non-zero polynomials from $\mathbb{R}[X]$, not all constant, such that the product of any two of its…

A positive integer $n$ is said to be a Zumkeller number or an integer-perfect number if the set of its positive divisors can be partitioned into two subsets of equal sums. In this paper, we prove several results regarding Zumkeller numbers.…

We investigate a family of Diophantine polynomial equations which involve continuant functions. In particular, given a polynomial $P(x)\in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ and $n\in \mathbb{N}$, we consider the equation $P(K_n(x_1,\ldots, x_n)) =…

For any integer $m\ge0$, we recall that triangular numbers are those $\mathbf{T}(m)=\frac{m(m+1)}{2}$. A conjecture of Sun Zhi-Wei states that an integer $2^n\pm n$ with any $n>2$ can not be a triangular number. The motivation of this work…

A positive quadratic form is $(k,\ell)$-universal if it represents all the numbers $kx+\ell$ where $x$ is a non-negative integer, and almost $(k,\ell)$-universal if it represents all but finitely many of them. We prove that for any $k,\ell$…

Let $f(n,k)$ be the largest number of positive integers not exceeding $n$ from which one cannot select $k+1$ pairwise coprime integers, and let $E(n,k)$ be the set of positive integers which do not exceed $n$ and can be divided by at least…

Let $T_{k}$ be the $k^{\textrm{th}}$ Tribonacci number and $L_{n}$ be the $n^{\textrm{th}}$ Lucas number defined by their respective recurrence relation $T_{k}=T_{k-1}+T_{k-2}+T_{k-3}$ and $L_{n}=L_{n-1}+L_{n-2}$. In this study, we solve…

This article is devoted to the number of non-negative solutions of the linear Diophantine equation $$ a_1t_1+a_2t_2+... a_nt_n=d, $$ where $a_1, ..., a_n$, and $d$ are positive integers. We obtain a relation between the number of solutions…
