Translational tiling problems are among the most fundamental and representative undecidable problems in all fields of mathematics. Greenfeld and Tao obtained two remarkable results on the undecidability of translational tiling in recent…
Unlike the Hamilton quaternion algebra, the split-quaternions contain nontrivial zero divisors. In general speaking, it is hard to find the solutions of equations in algebras containing zero divisor. In this paper, we manage to derive…
We settle the existence of certain "anti-magic" cubes using combinatorial block designs and graph decompositions to align a handful of small examples.
Symmetries and reductions of some algebraic equations are considered. Transformations that preserve the form of several algebraic equations, as well as transformations that reduce the degree of these equations, are described. Illustrative…
A multi-cube method is developed for solving systems of elliptic and hyperbolic partial differential equations numerically on manifolds with arbitrary spatial topologies. It is shown that any three-dimensional manifold can be represented as…
We provide a list of (mainly unsolved) problems in ordered and orderable groups. These were originally compiled 10 years ago by the last two authors. New problems have been added to the list. Progress on some of these is noted and…
We study the birational maps of $\mathbb{P}^3_\mathbb{C}$. More precisely we describe the irreducible components of the set of birational maps of bidegree $(3,3)$ (resp. $(3,4)$, resp. $(3,5)$).
The generalized Riccati equation defined as an equation between first order derivative and the cubic polynomial is named Riccati-Abel equation. Unlike solutions of ordinary Riccati equation, the solutions of Riccati-Abel equation do not…

The Calabi-Yau differential equations of degree 2 and 3 are listed. The idea is to bring some order into the "big table" into the "big table" (math. AG/0507430). The author has benefitted from an unpublished result by Yifan Yang, which…

An elementary proof is given for a nonterminating "strange" cubic $_7F_6$-series summation formula of Gasper and Rahman, through the modified Abel lemma on summation by parts. As a byproduct, an interesting nonterminating…
In this paper we obtain three undecidable results for exponential diophantine equations over the field $\mathbb Q$ of rational numbers. For example, we prove that there is no algorithm to decide the solvability of a general exponential…
We consider the existence and multiplicity of solutions for a class of quasi-linear Schr\"{o}dinger equations which include the modified nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equations. A new perturbation approach is used to treat the sub-cubic…
This investigation deals with some exact solutions of the equations governing the steady plane motions of an incompressible third grade fluid by using complex variables and complex functions. Some of the solutions admit, as particular…
In the classification of solutions of the Yang--Baxter equation, there are solutions that are not deformations of the trivial solution (essentially the identity). We consider the algebras defined by these solutions, and the corresponding…
We can recast the Yang-Baxter equation as a triple product equation. Assuming the triple product to satisfy some algebraic relations, we can find new solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. This program has been completed here for the…

We revisit a work by R. Okazaki and prove that for every cubic binary form F(x, y) with large enough discriminant, the Thue equation |F(x, y)| = 1 has at most 7 solutions in integers x and y.
