This paper contributes to the conjecture of R. Scott and R. Styer which asserts that for any fixed relatively prime positive integers $a,b$ and $c$ all greater than 1 there is at most one solution to the equation $a^x+b^y=c^z$ in positive…

Let f in Z[x,y] be a reducible homoegeneous polynomial of degree 3. We show that f(x,y) has an even number of prime factors as often as an odd number of prime factors.

Goldbach conjecture is one of the most famous open mathematical problems. It states that every even number, bigger than two, can be presented as a sum of 2 prime numbers. % In this work we present a deep learning based model that predicts…

It is proved that all sufficiently large integers $n$ can be represented as $$n=x_1^2+x_2^3+\cdots+x_{13}^{14},$$ where $x_1,\ldots,x_{13}$ are positive integers. This improves upon the current record with $14$ variables in place of $13$.

In this paper, we will investigate the solvability of the equation $x_1^k + x_2^k + \ldots + x_s^k = n$, $n\in \mathbb{Z}_{p^k}$, $x_1,...,x_s\in \mathcal{A}$, $\mathcal{A}\subseteq \mathbb{Z}_{p^k}$. We will give a upper bound of the…

We improve the bound of the $g$-invariant of the ring of integers of a totally real number field, where the $g$-invariant $g(r)$ is the smallest number of squares of linear forms in $r$ variables that is required to represent all the…

Assuming that the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH) holds, we prove an explicit formula for the number of representations of an integer as a sum of $k\geq 5$ primes. Our error terms in such a formula improve by some logarithmic factors…

Let $n$ be a positive integer, $p$ be an odd prime and integers $a,b \not= 0$ with $gcd(a,b)=1$, $p \nmid ab$, and $p|(a^n \pm b^n)$, we prove the identity $$\nu_p(a^n \pm b^n)-\nu_p(n)=\nu_p(a^{p-1}-b^{p-1}).$$ An unintended interesting…

Waring's classical problem deals with expressing every natural number as a sum of g(k) k-th powers. Recently there has been considerable interest in similar questions for nonabelian groups, and simple groups in particular. Here the k-th…

Heath-Brown proved that for a positive proportion of integers $n$, $n^3+2$ has a prime factor larger than $n^{1+c}$ with $c=10^{-303}$. We generalize this result to arbitrary monic irreducible cubic polynomial of $\mathbb{Z}[x]$ with $c$…

Let $$\gamma^*=\frac{8}{9}+\frac{2}{3}\:\frac{\log(10/9)}{\log 10}\:(\approx 0.919\ldots)\:.$$ Let $\gamma^*<\gamma_0\leq 1$, $c_0=1/\gamma_0$ be fixed. Let also $a_0\in\{0,1,\ldots, 9\}$.\\ We prove on assumption of the Generalized Riemann…

We verify the existence of radial positive solutions for the semi-linear equation $$ -\,\Delta u=u^{p}\,-\,V(y)\,u^{q},\,\quad\quad u>0,\quad\quad\mbox{ in }\mathbb{R}^N$$ where $N\geq 3$, $p$ is close to $p^*:=(N+2)/(N-2)$, and $V$ is a…

The binary Goldbach conjecture asserts that every even integer greater than $4$ is the sum of two primes. In a preceding paper we have proved that there exists a positive integer $K_\alpha$ such that every even integer $x > p_k^2$ can be…

In this paper we prove an existence result of multiple positive solutions for the following quasilinear problem \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{array}[c]{ll} -\Delta u - \Delta (u^2)u = |u|^{p-2}u & \mbox{ in } \Omega u= 0 &\mbox{ on }…

We apply recent progress on Vinogradov's mean value theorem to improve bounds for the function $H(k)$ in the Waring-Goldbach problem. We obtain new results for all exponents $k \ge 7$, and in particular establish that for large $k$ one has…

For A,epsilon>0 and any sufficiently large odd n we show that for almost all k up to n^{1/5-epsilon} there exists a representation n=p1+p2+p3 with primes in residue classes b1,b2,b3 mod k for almost all admissible triplets b1,b2,b3 of…

Improving earlier estimates of several authors we show that the number E(X) of Goldbach exceptional even integers (that is, even integers which cannot be written as the sum of two primesw) below X satisfies tho bound E(X) < X^0.72 for…

Let $G(k)$ denote the least number $s$ such that every sufficiently large natural number is the sum of at most $s$ positive integral $k$th powers. We show that $G(7)\le 31$, $G(8)\le 39$, $G(9)\le 47$, $G(10)\le 55$, $G(11)\le 63$,…

We show that substantially more than a quarter of the odd integers of the form $pq$ up to $x$, with $p,q$ both prime, satisfy $p\equiv q\equiv 3 \pmod 4$.
