We study the number of limit cycles that a planar polynomial vector field can have as a function of its number $m$ of monomials. We prove that the number of limit cycles increases at least quadratically with $m$ and we provide good lower…

B\"uchi's $n$ Squares Problem asks for an integer $M$ such that any sequence $(x_0,...,x_{M-1})$, whose second difference of squares is the constant sequence $(2)$ (i.e. $x^2_n-2x^2_{n-1}+x_{n-2}^2=2$ for all $n$), satisfies $x_n^2=(x+n)^2$…

Suppose that $(U_{n})_{n \geq 0}$ is a binary recurrence sequence and has a dominant root $\alpha$ with $\alpha>1$ and the discriminant $D$ is square-free. In this paper, we study the Diophantine equation $U_n + U_m = x^q$ in integers $n…
