We show that while the number of coprime compositions of a positive integer $n$ into $k$ parts can be expressed as a $\mathbb{Q}$-linear combinations of the Jordan totient functions, this is never possible for the coprime partitions of $n$…

Let $n$ be a non-negative integer and put $p_{n}(x)=\prod_{i=0}^{n}(x+i)$. In the first part of the paper, for given $n$, we study the existence of integer solutions of the Diophantine equation $$ y^m=p_{n}(x)+\sum_{i=1}^{k}p_{a_{i}}(x), $$…

Let $\{u_{n}\}_{n \geq 0}$ be a non-degenerate binary recurrence sequence with positive, square-free discriminant and $p$ be a fixed prime number. In this paper, we have shown the finiteness result for the solutions of the Diophantine…

We wish to discuss positive integer solutions to the Diophantine equation $$\prod_{k=1}^n(k^2+1)=b^2.$$ Some methods in analytic number theory will be used to tackle this problem.

We investigate the number $R_3(n)$ of representations of $n$ as the sum plus the product of three positive integers. On average, $R_3(n)$ is $\frac{1}{2}\log^2 n$. We give an upper bound for $R_3(n)$ and an upper bound for the number of $n…

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…

The number of tuples with positive integers pairwise relatively prime to each other with product at most $n$ is considered. A generalization of $\mu^{2}$ where $\mu$ is the M\"{o}bius function is used to formulate this divisor sum and…

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 $p$…

For the positive integer $n$, let $f(n)$ denote the number of positive integer solutions $(n_1, n_2, n_3)$ of the Diophantine equation $$ {4\over n}={1\over n_1}+{1\over n_2}+{1\over n_3}. $$ For the prime number $p$, $f(p)$ can be split…

Let $\{u_{n}\}_{n \geq 0}$ be a non-degenerate binary recurrence sequence with positive discriminant. In this paper, we consider the Diophantine equation $u_m + u_n = a_1 n_1! + \cdots + a_k n_k!$ and prove that there are only finitely many…

In this note, we look at the diophantine equation $$ \prod_{i=1}^ta_i!=\prod_{j=1}^sn_i!, \quad n_1\geq \cdots \geq n_s\geq 2 \quad \textnormal{and}\quad n_1>a_1\geq a_2\geq\cdots \geq a_t\geq2. $$ \noindent Let $s<t$. Under the (explicit)…

Given an integer $n \ge 3$, let $u_1, \ldots, u_n$ be pairwise coprime integers $\ge 2$, $\mathcal D$ a family of nonempty proper subsets of $\{1, \ldots, n\}$ with "enough" elements, and $\varepsilon$ a function $ \mathcal D \to \{\pm…

Motivated by a question of V. Bergelson and F. K. Richter (2017), we obtain asymptotic formulas for the number of relatively prime tuples composed of positive integers $n\le N$ and integer parts of polynomials evaluated at $n$. The error…

In this article, we consider the Diophantine equation $\sigma_{2}(n)-n^2=An+B$ with $A=P^2\pm2$. For some $B$, we show that except for finitely many computable solutions in the range $n\leq(|A|+|B|)^{3}$, all the solutions are expressible…

Using completely elementary methods, we find all powers of 3 that can be written as the sum of at most twenty-two distinct powers of 2, as well as all powers of 2 that can be written as the sum of at most twenty-five distinct powers of 3.…

In this work, we prove the following result(Theorem 1): Suppose that n is a positive integer, p an odd prime, and such that either n is congruent to 0 modulo4 and p congruent to 3 modulo8; or alternatively, n is congruent to 2 modulo4 and p…

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…

A semiprime is a natural number which is the product of two (not necessarily distinct) prime numbers. Let $F(x_1, \ldots, x_n)$ be a degree $d$ homogeneous form with integer coefficients. We provide sufficient conditions, similar to those…

Let $L_1$, $L_2$ $L_3$ be integer linear functions with no fixed prime divisor. We show there are infinitely many $n$ for which the product $L_1(n)L_2(n)L_3(n)$ has at most 7 prime factors, improving a result of Porter. We do this by means…
