In Pacific J. Math. 292 (2018), 223-238, Shareshian and Woodroofe asked if for every positive integer $n$ there exist primes $p$ and $q$ such that, for all integers $k$ with $1 \leq k \leq n-1$, the binomial coefficient $\binom{n}{k}$ is…

This paper studies integer solutions to the Diophantine equation A+B=C in which none of A, B, C have a large prime factor. We set H(A, B,C) = max(|A|, |B|, |C|), and consider primitive solutions (gcd}(A, B, C)=1) having no prime factor p…

We propose a method to determine the solvability of the diophantine equation $x^2-Dy^2=n$ for the following two cases: $(1)$ $D=pq$, where $p,q\equiv 1 \mod 4$ are distinct primes with $(\frac{q}{p})=1$ and…

The discriminant of a polynomial of the form $\pm x^n \pm x^m \pm 1$ has the form $n^n \pm m^m(n-m)^{n-m}$ when $n,m$ are relatively prime. We investigate when these discriminants have prime power divisors. We explain several symmetries…

Suppose that $x$ is odd, $n\geq7$ and $p\notin\{2,5\}$ are primes. In this paper, we prove that the Diophantine equations $x^{2}\pm5^{\alpha}p^{n}=y^{n}$ have no solutions in positive integers $\alpha,x,y$ with $gcd(x,y)=1$.

In this paper, we gave solutions of the Diophantine equations 16^{x}+p^{y}=z^{2}, 64^{x}+p^{y}=z^{2} where p is an odd prime, n is a positive integer and x,y,z are non-negative integers. Finally we gave a generalization of the Diophantine…

Let $a,b>0$ be coprime integers. Assuming a conjecture on Hecke eigenvalues along binary cubic forms, we prove an asymptotic formula for the number of primes of the form $ax^2+by^3$ with $x \leq X^{1/2}$ and $y \leq X^{1/3}$. The proof…

Let $(a, b, c)$ be a primitive Pythagorean triple parameterized as $a=u^2-v^2,\ b=2uv,\ c=u^2+v^2$,\ where $u>v>0$ are co-prime and not of the same parity. In 1956, L. Je{\'s}manowicz conjectured that for any positive integer $n$, the…

Let $p$ be a prime. If an integer $g$ generates a subgroup of index $t$ in $(\mathbb Z/p\mathbb Z)^*,$ then we say that $g$ is a $t$-near primitive root modulo $p$. We point out the easy result that each primitive residue class contains a…

For every positive integer k, it is shown that there exists a positive definite diagonal quaternary integral quadratic form that represents all positive integers except for precisely those which lie in k arithmetic progressions. For k=1,…

Let $\delta(p)$ tend to zero arbitrarily slowly as $p\to\infty$. We exhibit an explicit set $\mathcal{S}$ of primes $p$, defined in terms of simple functions of the prime factors of $p-1$, for which the least primitive root of $p$ is $\le…

We prove that for every irrational number $\alpha$, real number $\beta$, real number $c$ satisfying $1<c<9/8$ and positive real number $\theta$ satisfying $\theta<(9/c-8)/10$, there exist infinitely many primes of the form…

Let $\Fm$ be finite fields of order $q^m$, where $m\geq 2$ and $q$, a prime power. Given $\F$-affine hyperplanes $A_1,\ldots, A_m$ of $\Fm$ in general position, we study the existence of primitive element $\alpha$ of $\Fm$, such that…

For a prime p and nonnegative integers n,k, consider the set A_{n,k}^{(p)}={x is in [0,1,...,n]: p^k||binom {n} {x}}. Let the expansion of n+1 in base p be: n+1=alpha_{0} p^{\nu}+alpha_{1}p^{nu-1}+...+alpha_{nu}, where 0<=alpha_{i}<=…

This paper is continuation of the paper "Primitive roots in quadratic field". We consider an analogue of Artin's primitive root conjecture for algebraic numbers which is not a unit in real quadratic fields. Given such an algebraic number,…

In this article we establish two new results on quantitative Diophantine approximation for one-parameter families of diagonal ternary indefinite forms. In the first result, we consider quadratic forms taking values at prime points. In the…

Jagy and Kaplansky exhibited a table of 68 pairs of positive definite binary quadratic forms that represent the same odd primes and conjectured that this list is complete outside of "trivial" pairs. In this article, we find all pairs of…

The main aim of this article is to find all solutions of the Diophantine equation $x^2 + p^k=y^n$ where $p \equiv 1 \pmod 4$, $\frac{p-1}{3}$ is a perfect square and the class number of $\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{-p}]$ is $2$. In this article, I…

Let $P$ be a non-torsion point on the elliptic curve $E_{a}: y^{2}=x^{3}+ax$. We show that if $a$ is fourth-power-free and either $n>2$ is even or $n>1$ is odd with $x(P)<0$ or $x(P)$ a perfect square, then the $n$-th element of the…
