Let $c$ be a positive odd integer and $R$ a set of $n$ primes coprime with $c$. We consider equations $X + Y = c^z$ in three integer unknowns $X$, $Y$, $z$, where $z > 0$, $Y > X > 0$, and the primes dividing $XY$ are precisely those in…

In this note we describe a new method of counting the number of unordered factorizations of a natural number by means of a generating function and a recurrence relation arising from it, which improves an earlier result in this direction.

Motivated by the recent result of Farhi we show that for each $n\equiv \pm 1\pmod{6}$ the title Diophantine equation has at least two solutions in integers. As a consequence, we get that each (even) perfect number is a sum of three cubes of…

We present a construction of a certain infinite complete partial order (CPO) that differs from the standard construction used in Scott's denotational semantics. In addition, we construct several other infinite CPO's. For some of those, we…

Let $N$ be an odd perfect number. Let $\omega(N)$ be the number of distinct prime factors of $N$ and let $\Omega(N)$ be the total number of prime factors of $N$. We prove that if $(3,N)=1$, then $ \frac{302}{113}\omega - \frac{286}{113}…

We extend the sum-of-divisors function to the complex plane via the Gaussian integers. Then we prove a modified form of Euler's classification of odd perfect numbers.

Let $v$ be a positive odd integer. A $(v,k,\lambda)$-perfect difference family (PDF) is a collection $\mathcal{F}$ of $k$-subsets of $\{0,1,\ldots,v-1\}$ such that the multiset $\bigcup_{F\in \mathcal{F}}\{x-y : x,y\in F, x>y\}$ covers each…

George Voronoi (1908-09) introduced two important reduction methods for positive quadratic forms: the reduction with perfect forms, and the reduction with L-type domains. A form is perfect if can be reconstructed from all representations of…

The explicit McKay correspondence, as formulated by Gonzalez-Sprinberg and Verdier, associates to each exceptional divisor in the minimal resolution of a rational double point a matrix factorization of the equation of the rational double…

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…

A perfect cuboid is a rectangular parallelepiped with integer edges, integer face diagonals, and integer space diagonal. Such cuboids have not yet been found, but nor has their existence been disproved. Perfect cuboids are described by a…

We give solutions of a Diophantine equation containing factorials, which can be written as a cubic form, or as a sum of binomial coefficients. We also give some solutions to higher degree forms and relate some solutions to an unsolvable…

We offer multiplication method for factoring big natural numbers which extends the group of the Fermat's and Lehman's factorization algorithms and has run-time complexity $O(n^{1/3})$. This paper is argued the finiteness of proposed…

We study pairs of consecutive odd numbers through a straightforward indexing. We focus in particular on twin primes and their distribution. With a counting argument, we calculate the limit of an alternating sum that is equal to 1 which…

Consider $k\ge 2$ distinct, linearly independent, homogeneous linear recurrences of order $k$ satisfying the same recurrence relation. We prove that the recurrences are related to a decomposable form of degree $k$, and there is a very broad…

We show a general method allowing the solution calculation, in the form of a power series, for a very large class of nonlinear Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs), namely the real analytic $\sigma\pi$-ODEs (and, more in general, the real…

We prove an estimate for the number of lattice points lying in certain non-convex Euclidean domains of interest in Diophantine approximation. As an application, we generalise a result of Kruse (1964) concerning the almost sure order of…

We give a construction of a real number that is normal to all integer bases and continued fraction normal. The computation of the first n digits of its continued fraction expansion performs in the order of n^4 mathematical operations. The…

For a positive integer $t\geq 2$, let $b_{t}(n)$ denote the number of $t$-regular partitions of a nonnegative integer $n$. In a recent paper, Keith and Zanello investigated the parity of $b_{t}(n)$ when $t\leq 28$. They discovered new…

In this paper, we introduce the concept of $F$-perfect number, which is a positive integer $n$ such that $\sum_{d|n,d<n}d^2=3n$. We prove that all the $F$-perfect numbers are of the form $n=F_{2k-1}F_{2k+1}$, where both $F_{2k-1}$ and…
