A perfect number is a positive integer n such that n equals the sum of all positive integer divisors of n that are less than n. That is, although n is a divisor of n, n is excluded from this sum. Thus 6 = 1 + 2 + 3 is perfect, but 12 < 1 +…

For every positive integer $n$, an infinite family of positive integral solutions of the diophantine equation $x^n - y^n = z^{n+1}$ is constructed.

We propose an efficient computational method for finding all solutions $n\leq U$ to the Diophantine equation $a\sigma(n) = bn + c$, where integer coefficient $a,b,c$ and an upper bound $U$ are given. Our method is implemented in SageMath…

The search of solutions of the Diophantine equation $x^3 + y^3 + z^3 = k$ for $k<1000$ has been extended with bounds of $|x|$, $|y|$ and $|z|$ up to $10^{15}$. The first solution for $k=74$ is reported. This only leaves $k=33$ and $k=42$…

We geometrically prove that in a d-dimensional cube with edges of length n, the number of particular d-dimensional tetrahedrons are given by Eulerian numbers. These tetrahedrons tassellate the cube, In this way the sum of the cubes are the…

Let $\mathcal{P}_s(n)$ denote the $n$th $s$-gonal number. We consider the equation \[\mathcal{P}_s(n) = y^m, \] for integers $n,s,y,$ and $m$. All solutions to this equation are known for $m>2$ and $s \in \{3,5,6,8,20 \}$. We consider the…

A perfect Euler cuboid is a rectangular parallelepiped with integer edges and integer face diagonals whose space diagonal is also integer. The problem of finding such parallelepipeds or proving their non-existence is an old unsolved…

The beautiful quartic Diophantine equation $A^4+hB^4=C^4+hD^4$, where $h$ is a fixed arbitrary positive integer, has been studied by some mathematicians for many years. Although Choudhry, Gerardin and Piezas presented solutions of this…

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…

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…

Let f(n)=1 if n=1, 2^(2^(n-2)) if n \in {2,3,4,5}, (2+2^(2^(n-4)))^(2^(n-4)) if n \in {6,7,8,...}. We conjecture that if a system T \subseteq {x_i+1=x_k, x_i \cdot x_j=x_k: i,j,k \in {1,...,n}} has only finitely many solutions in positive…

A basic question of Diophantine approximation, which is the first issue we discuss, is to investigate the rational approximations to a single real number. Next, we consider the algebraic or polynomial approximations to a single complex…
