For a nonzero integer n, a set of m distinct nonzero integers {a_1,a_2,...,a_m} such that a_i a_j + n is a perfect square for all 1 <= i < j <= m, is called a D(n)-m-tuple. In this paper, by using properties of so-called regular Diophantine…
In this paper, first, we prove that the Diophantine system \[f(z)=f(x)+f(y)=f(u)-f(v)=f(p)f(q)\] has infinitely many integer solutions for $f(X)=X(X+a)$ with nonzero integers $a\equiv 0,1,4\pmod{5}$. Second, we show that the above…
In this paper we obtain four new parametric ideal solutions of the Tarry-Escott problem of degree 7, that is, of the simultaneous diophantine equations, $\sum_{i=1}^8x_i^r=\sum_{i=1}^8y_i^r,\;r=1,\,2,\,\dots,\,7$. While all the known…
In this article we further develop methods for representing integers as a sum of three cubes. In particular, a barrier to solving the case $k=3$, which was outlined in a previous paper of the second author, is overcome. A very recent…
Given an integer n>1, it is a classical Diophantine problem that whether n can be written as a sum of two rational cubes. The study of this problem, considering several special cases of n, has a copious history that can be traced back to…
We show that there are infinitely many triples of positive integers a, b, c (greater than 1) such that ab + 1, ac + 1, bc + 1 and abc + 1 are all perfect squares.
A set of positive integers with the property that the product of any two of them is the successor of a perfect square is called Diophantine $D(-1)$--set. Such objects are usually studied via a system of generalized Pell equations naturally…
We consider Diophantine quintuples $\{a, b, c, d, e\}$. These are sets of distinct positive integers, the product of any two elements of which is one less than a perfect square. It is conjectured that there are no Diophantine quintuples; we…
In this paper, we sharpen earlier work of the first author, Luca and Mulholland, showing that the Diophantine equation $$ A^3+B^3 = q^\alpha C^p, \, \, ABC \neq 0, \, \, \gcd (A,B) =1, $$ has, for "most" primes $q$ and suitably large prime…
We present a general algorithm for solving all two-variable polynomial Diophantine equations consisting of three monomials. Before this work, even the existence of an algorithm for solving the one-parameter family of equations…
This paper investigates the exponential Diophantine equation of the form $a^x+b=c^y$, where $a, b, c$ are given positive integers with $a,c \ge 2$, and $x,y$ are positive integer unknowns. We define this form as a "Type-I transcendental…
In this methodological paper, we first review the classic cubic Diophantine equation $a^3 + b^3 + c^3 = d^3$, and consider the specific class of solutions $q_1^3 + q_2^3 + q_3^3 = q_4^3$ with each $q_i$ being a binary quadratic form. Next…
In this paper, elliptic curves theory is used for solving the Diophantine equations X^3+Y^3+Z^3+aU^k=a_0U_0^{t_0}+...+a_nU_n^{t_n}, k=3,4 where n, ti are natural numbers and a, a_i are fixed arbitrary rational numbers. We try to transform…
This paper proposes an elementary solution to a special case of finding all perfect squares that can be written as sum of consecutive integer cubes. It is shown that there are no non-trivial solutions if the perfect square is a prime power,…
In this paper, we solve the simultaneous Diophantine equations m.(x_1^k+....+x_{t_1}^k)=n.(y_1^k+....+y_{t_2}^k); k=1,3, where t_1, t_2>3, and m, n are fixed arbitrary and relatively prime positive integers. This is done by choosing two…
This paper is concerned with the problem of expressing three consecutive integers as sums of three cubes. We give several parametric solutions of the problem. We also give somewhat trivial solutions of five or seven consecutive integers…
In this work, we accomplish three goals. First, we determine the entire family of positive integer solutions to the three- variable Diophantine equation, xy=z^2; for n=2,3,4,5,6. For n=2, we obtain a 3-parameter family of solutions; for…
In this paper we determine the perfect powers that are sums of three fifth powers in an arithmetic progression. More precisely, we completely solve the Diophantine equation $$ (x-d)^5 + x^5 + (x + d)^5 = z^n,~n\geq 2, $$ where $d,x,z \in…
In this paper, the elliptic curves theory is used for solving the Diophantine equations $\sum_{i=1}^n a_ix_{i} ^6+\sum_{i=1}^m b_iy_{i} ^3= \sum_{i=1}^na_iX_{i}^6\pm\sum_{i=1}^m b_iY_{i} ^3$, where $n$, $m$ $\geq 1$ and $a_i$, $b_i$, are…
It is a generalization of Pell's equation $x^2-Dy^2=0$. Here, we show that: if our Diophantine equation has a particular integer solution and $ab$ is not a perfect square, then the equation has an infinite number of solutions; in this case…
