We are motivated by a result of Alzer and Luca who presented all the integer solutions to the relations $(k!)^n-k^n=(n!)^k-n^k$ and $(k!)^n+k^n=(n!)^k+n^k$. We consider the equations $(k!)^{n!}\pm k^n=(n!)^{k!}\pm n^k$ and $(k!)^n\pm…
Finding integer solutions to norm form equations is a classical Diophantine problem. Using the units of the associated coefficient ring, we can produce sequences of solutions to these equations. It is known that these solutions can be…
In this paper, by using the theory of elliptic curves, we discuss several Diophantine equations related with the so-called figurate primes. Meanwhile, we raise several conjectures related with figurate primes and Hilbert's 8th problem,…
Euler's totient function counts the positive integers up to a given integer n that are relatively prime to n. The aim of this article is to give a result about the sum of euler's totient function from k equal 1 to n whene p divides n and p…
We derive some q-analogs of Euler-Cassini-type identities and of recurrence formulas for powers of Fibonacci polynomials.
We discuss a problem initially thought for the Mathematical Olympiad but which has several interpretations. The recurrence sequences involved in this problem may be generalized to recurrence sequences related to a much larger set of…

We present a range of difficult integration formulas involving Fibonacci and Lucas numbers and trigonometric functions. These formulas are often expressed in terms of special functions like the dilogarithm and Clausen's function. We also…
In this paper, we completely solve the Diophantine equations $F_{n_1} + F_{n_2} = 2^{a_1} + 2^{a_2} + 2^{a_3}$ and $ F_{m_1} + F_{m_2} + F_{m_3} =2^{t_1} + 2^{t_2} $, where $F_k$ denotes the $k$-th Fibonacci number. In particular, we prove…
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)) =…
We survey classical and recent results on exponents of Diophantine approximation. We give only a few proofs and highlight several open problems.
We consider different generalizations of the Euler formula and discuss the properties of the associated trigonometric functions. The problem is analyzed from different points of view and it is shown that it can be formulated in a natural…

Using elementary number theory we study Diophantine equations over the rational integers of the following form, $y^2=(x+a)(x+a+k)(x+b)(x+b+k)$, $y^2=c^2x^4+ax^2+b$ and $y^2=(x^2-1)(x^2-\alpha^2)(x^2-(\alpha+1)^2).$ We express their integer…
We study the distribution of divisors of Euler's totient function and Carmichael's function. In particular, we estimate how often the values of these functions have "dense" divisors.
Let $(F_n)_{n\geq 0}$ be the Fibonacci sequence given by $F_0 = 0, F_1 = 1$ and $F_{n+2} = F_{n+1}+F_n$ for $n \geq 0$. In this paper, we have determined all the powers of 2 which are sums of five Fibonacci numbers with few exceptions that…
