Let $n$ be a positive integer. We discuss pairs of distinct odd primes $p$ and $q$ not dividing $n$ for which the Diophantine equations $pq=x^2+ny^2$ have integer solutions in $x$ and $y$. As its examples we classify all such pairs of $p$…

In this paper we solve the Diophantine equation $\binom{m}{l}-\binom{n}{k}=d$ (where m,n are positive integers unknowns) when (k,l)=(3,6) for various values of d and when (k,l)=(8,2) and d=1. As a byproduct of our results we will obtain…

In this paper, we give a specific way of describing positive integer solutions of a Diophantine equation $(x+y)^2+(y+z)^2+(z+x)^2=12xyz$ and introduce a generalized cluster pattern behind it.

We consider Diophantine equations of the kind $|F(x,y)|= m$, where $F(X,Y )\in \bz [X,Y]$ is a homogeneous polynomial of degree $d\ge 3$ that has non-zero discriminant and $m$ is a positive integer. We prove results that simplify those of…

We consider the Diophantine equation $7x^{2} + y^{2n} = 4z^{3}$. We determine all solutions to this equation for $n = 2, 3, 4$ and $5$. We formulate a Kraus type criterion for showing that the Diophantine equation $7x^{2} + y^{2p} = 4z^{3}$…

We consider the number of solutions in positive integers $(x,y,z)$ for the purely exponential Diophantine equation $a^x+b^y =c^z$ (with $\gcd(a,b)=1$). Apart from a list of known exceptions, a conjecture published in 2016 claims that this…

Let $a,b,c$ be fixed coprime positive integers with $\min\{a,b,c\}>1$. In this paper, by analyzing the gap rule for solutions of the ternary purely exponential diophantine equation $a^x+b^y=c^z$, we prove that if $\max\{a,b,c\}\geq…

First, we consider the equation $ax^2 - by^2 + c = 0$, with $a,b \in N*$ and $c \in Z*$, which is a generalization of Pell's equation. Here, we show that: if this equation has an integer solution and $ab$ is not a perfect square, then it…
