The classical $abc$ theorem for polynomials (often called Mason's theorem) deals with nontrivial polynomial solutions to the equation $a+b=c$. It provides a lower bound for the number of distinct zeros of the polynomial $abc$ in terms of…

In this paper, we give a new definition of the $q$-weight of zeros, which reduces to the multiplicity of zeros as $q\to 1$. Furthermore, we obtain a $q$-difference version of the Stothers-Mason theorem by means of the new definition of the…

We present a new approach to solving polynomial ordinary differential equations by transforming them to linear functional equations and then solving the linear functional equations. We will focus most of our attention upon the first-order…

Using a sums of squares formula for two variable polynomials with no zeros on the bidisk, we are able to give a new proof of a representation for distinguished varieties. For distinguished varieties with no singularities on the two-torus,…

In this paper, we focus on the difference analogue of the Stothers-Mason theorem for entire functions of order less than 1, which can be seen as difference $abc$ theorem for entire functions. We also obtain the difference analogue of…

We show a generalization of Mason's ABC-theorem, with the only conditions that the greatest common divisor has been divided out and no proper subsum of the (possibly multivariate) polynomial sum f_1 + f_2 + ... + f_n = 0 vanishes. As a…

In this work we look at the original fractional calculus of variations problem in a somewhat different way. As a simple consequence, we show that a fractional generalization of a classical problem has a solution without any restrictions on…

Differential equations are one of the main approaches to evaluate multi-loop Feynman integrals. The construction of a canonical or $\varepsilon$-factorised basis for multi-loop integrals remains a key bottleneck for this approach,…

We apply general difference calculus in order to obtain solutions to the functional equations of the second order. We show that factorization method can be successfully applied to the functional case. This method is equivariant under the…

We present a short elementary proof of the well-known criterion for a cubic polynomial to have three real roots. The proof is based on Fermat's approach to calculus for polynomials. This approach illustrates the idea of a derivative…

We prove a generalization of classical Montel's theorem for the mixed differences case, for polynomials and exponential polynomial functions, in commutative setting.

We are concerned with extensions of the Mason--Stothers $abc$ theorem from polynomials to analytic functions on the unit disk $\mathbb D$. The new feature is that the number of zeros of a function $f$ in $\mathbb D$ gets replaced by the…

We state some elementary problems concerning the relation between difference calculus and differential calculus, and we try to convince the reader that, in spite of the simplicity of the statements, a solution of these problems would be a…

Ordinary differential equations have an arithmetic analogue in which functions are replaced by numbers and the derivation operator is replaced by a Fermat quotient operator. In this survey we explain the main motivations, constructions,…
