In number theory, the Erdos-Straus conjecture states that for all n >=2, the rational number 4/n can be expressed as the sum of three unit fractions. Paul Erdos and Ernst G. Straus formulated the conjecture in 1948. The restriction that the…

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 note, we prove that if $\{a,b,c,d,e\}$ with $a<b<c<d<e$ is a Diophantine quintuple, then $d<10^{76}$.

Diophantine quadruples are sets of four distinct positive integers such that the product of any two is one less than a square. All known examples belong to an infinite set which can be constructed recursively. Some observations on these…

The abc conjecture is one of the most famous unsolved problems in number theory. The conjecture claims for each real $\epsilon > 0$ that there are only a finite number of coprime positive integer solutions to the equation $a+b = c$ with $c…

Let $[\, x\,]$ denote the integer part of a real number $x$. Assume that $\lambda_1,\lambda_2,\lambda_3$ are nonzero real numbers, not all of the same sign, that $\lambda_1/\lambda_2$ is irrational, and that $\eta$ is real. Let…

In this paper, we determine the primitive solutions of the Diophantine equation $(x-d)^2+x^2+(x+d)^2=y^n$ when $n\geq 2$ and $d=p^b$, $p$ a prime and $p\leq 10^4$. The main ingredients are the characterization of primitive divisors on…

In this paper we deal with a non-linear Diophantine equation which arises from the determinant computation of an integer matrix. We show how to find a solution, when it exists. We define an equivalence relation and show how the set of all…

For fixed integers $D \geq 0$ and $c \geq 3$, we demonstrate how to use $2$-adic valuation trees of sequences to analyze Diophantine equations of the form $x^2+D=2^cy$ and $x^3+D=2^cy$, for $y$ odd. Further, we show for what values $D \in…

Given linear diophantine equation Ax=b, rank A=m. Let d be the maximum of absolute values of the mxm minors of the matrix (A | b). It is shown that if M={x : Ax=b, x nonnegative and integer} is nonempty, then there exists x=(x1,...,xn) in…

For fixed integer $a\ge3$, we study the binary Diophantine equation $\frac{a}n=\frac1x+\frac1y$ and in particular the number $E_a(N)$ of $n\le N$ for which the equation has no positive integer solutions in $x, y$. The asymptotic formula…
