We pose 100 new conjectures on representations involving primes or related things, which might interest number theorists and stimulate further research. Below are five typical examples: (i) For any positive integer $n$, there exists…

A recursive algorithm is constructed which finds all solutions to a class of Diophantine equations connected to the problem of determining ordered n-tuples of positive integers satisfying the property that their sum is equal to their…

We estimate character sums with n!, on average, and individually. These bounds are used to derive new results about various congruences modulo a prime p and obtain new information about the spacings between quadratic nonresidues modulo p.…

We study some counting questions concerning products of positive integers $u_1, \ldots, u_n$ which form a non-zero perfect square, or more generally, a perfect $k$-th power. We obtain an asymptotic formula for the number of such integers of…

In this paper, we find all the solutions of the Diophantine equation $P_\ell + P_m +P_n=2^a$, in nonnegative integer variables $(n,m,\ell, a)$ where $P_k$ is the $k$-th term of the Pell sequence $\{P_n\}_{n\ge 0}$ given by $P_0=0$, $P_1=1$…

We identify a recursive structure among factorizations of polynomial values into two integer factors. Polynomials for which this recursive structure characterizes all non-trivial representations of integer factorizations of the polynomial…

Let $\mathfrak{p}=(\mathfrak{p}_1,...,\mathfrak{p}_r)$ be a system of $r$ polynomials with integer coefficients of degree $d$ in $n$ variables $\mathbf{x}=(x_1,...,x_n)$. For a given $r$-tuple of integers, say $\mathbf{s}$, a general local…

We consider the Diophantine inequality \[ \left| p_1^{c} + p_2^{c} + p_3^c- N \right| < (\log N)^{-E} , \] where $1 < c < \frac{15}{14}$, $N$ is a sufficiently large real number and $E>0$ is an arbitrarily large constant. We prove that the…

We discuss properties of diophantine solutions of the Pythagoras equation, $a^2+b^2=c^2$, where the three numbers have no common factor. Some of the highlights are: (1) All triplets for which $c$ (called the `peak') is non-prime can be…

We present a novel conjecture concerning the additive representation of natural numbers using prime powers. Based on extensive computational verification, we conjecture that every integer n > 23 can be expressed as a sum of at most five…

Let $r \ge 2$ be an integer and let $A$ be a finite, nonempty set of nonzero integers. We will obtain a lower bound for the number of squarefree integers $n$, up to $x$, for which the products $\prod_{p \mid n} (p+a)$ (over primes $p$) are…

Let s(n) be the number of representations of n as the sum of three squares. We prove a remarkable new identity for s(p^2n)- ps(n) with p being an odd prime. This identity makes nontrivial use of ternary quadratic forms with discriminants…

By using the Newton interpolation formula, we generalize the recent identities on the Catalan triangle obtained by Miana and Romero as well as those of Chen and Chu. We further study divisibility properties of sums of products of binomial…

New formulae are presented for the number $P(b)$ of non-negative integer solutions of a Diophantine equation $\sum_{i=1}^{n}a_ix_i=b$ and for the number $Q(b)$ of non-negative integer solutions of the Diophantine inequality…

Let $(L_n^{(k)})_{n\geq 2-k}$ be the sequence of $k$--generalized Lucas numbers for some fixed integer $k\ge 2$ whose first $k$ terms are $0,\ldots,0,2,1$ and each term afterwards is the sum of the preceding $k$ terms. In this paper, we…

While solving a special case of a question of Erd\H{o}s and Graham Steinerberger asks for all integers $n$ with $\phi(n)=\frac{2}{3} \cdot (n+1)$. He discovered the solutions $n\in\{5, 5 \cdot 7, 5\cdot 7\cdot 37, 5\cdot 7\cdot 37\cdot…

A composition of a nonnegative integer (n) is a sequence of positive integers whose sum is (n). A composition is palindromic if it is unchanged when its terms are read in reverse order. We provide a generating function for the number of…

Let $1<c<\frac{1787}{1502}$ and $N$ be a sufficiently large real number. In this paper, it is proved that for any arbitrarily large number $E>0$ and for almost all real $R \in (N,2N]$, the Diophantine inequality…
