In the present paper we prove uniqueness results for solutions to a class of Neumann boundary value problems whose prototype is --div((1 + |$\nabla$u| 2) (p--2)/2 $\nabla$u) -- div(c(x)|u| p--2 u) = f in $\Omega$, (1 + |$\nabla$u| 2)…

We study nonnegative classical solutions $u$ of the polyharmonic inequality $-\Delta^m u > 0$ in a punctured neighborhood of the origin in $R^n$. We give necessary and sufficient conditions on integers $n\ge 2$ and $m\ge 1$ such that these…

We study a generalization of Pell's equation, whose coefficients are certain algebraic integers. Let $X_0=0$ and $X_n=\sqrt{2+X_{n-1}}$ for each $n\in \mathbb{Z}_{\ge 1}$. We study the $\mathbb{Z}[X_{n-1}]$-solutions of the equation…

We establish some upper bounds for the number of integer solutions to the Thue inequality $|F(x , y)| \leq m$, where $F$ is a binary form of degree $n \geq 3$ and with non-zero discriminant $D$, and $m$ is an integer. Our upper bounds are…

Let $m\geq -1$ be an integer. We give a correspondence between integer solutions to the parametric family of cubic Thue equations \[ X^3-mX^2Y-(m+3)XY^2-Y^3=\lambda \] where $\lambda>0$ is a divisor of $m^2+3m+9$ and isomorphism classes of…

Suppose $k,x,$ and $b$ are positive integers, and $a$ is a nonnegative integer such that $k=a+b$. In this paper, we will prove $\binom{2k}{k} = \binom{2a}{a} \binom{x+2b}{b}$ if and only if $x=a=1$. We do this by looking at different cases…

A classical result of Honsberger states that the number of incongruent triangles with integer sides and perimeter $n$ is the nearest integer to $\frac{n^2}{48}$ ($n$ even) or $\frac{(n+3)^2}{48}$ ($n$ odd). We solve the analogous problem…

In 1997 we proved that if $n$ is of the form $$ 4k, \quad 8k-1\quad {\rm or} \quad 2^{2m+1}(2k-1)+3, $$ where $k,m\in \mathbb N,$ then there are no positive rational numbers $x,y,z$ satisfying $$ xyz = 1, \quad x+y+z = n. $$ Recently, N. X.…

We study some properties of positive solutions to the higher order conformally invariant equation with a singular set $$ (-\Delta)^m u = u^{\frac{n+2m}{n-2m}} ~~~~~~ \textmd{in} ~ \Omega \backslash \Lambda, $$ where $\Omega \subset…

We classify the solutions to the equation (- \Delta)^m u=(2m-1)!e^{2mu} on R^{2m} giving rise to a metric g=e^{2u}g_{R^{2m}} with finite total $Q$-curvature in terms of analytic and geometric properties. The analytic conditions involve the…

One of the two existing strategies of resolving singularities of multifold Mellin-Barnes integrals in the dimensional regularization parameter, or a parameter of the analytic regularization, is formulated in a modified form. The…

For $m \geq 3$, we define the $m$th order pyramidal number by \[ \mathrm{Pyr}_m(x) = \frac{1}{6} x(x+1)((m-2)x+5-m). \] In a previous paper, written by the first-, second-, and fourth-named authors, all solutions to the equation…

We consider a closed Riemannian manifold $(M^n ,g)$ of dimension $n\geq 3$ and study positive solutions of the equation $-\Delta_g u + \lambda u = \lambda u^q$, with $\lambda >0$, $q>1$. If $M$ supports a proper isoparametric function with…

By introducing a new classification of the growth rate of exponential functions, singular solutions for semilinear elliptic equations in 2-dimensions with exponential nonlinearities are constructed. The strategy is to introduce a model…

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded open interval, let $p>1$ and $\gamma>0$, and let $m:\Omega\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ be a function that may change sign in $\Omega $. In this article we study the existence and nonexistence of positive solutions for…

In this paper, we study natural numbers $m$ with ${u_{z \pm 1} \equiv -1 \ (m)}$ for a $z \in \mathbb{N}$, where $u_n$ is the $n$th Fibonacci number. Furthermore, we want to show for $m \in \mathbb{N}\setminus\{0,1\}$: $[\forall p \…

Suppose that $x$ is odd, $n\geq7$ and $p\notin\{2,5\}$ are primes. In this paper, we prove that the Diophantine equations $x^{2}\pm5^{\alpha}p^{n}=y^{n}$ have no solutions in positive integers $\alpha,x,y$ with $gcd(x,y)=1$.

In this paper we provide an analytical procedure which leads to a system of $(n-2)^2$ polynomial equations whose solutions give the parameterisation of the complex $n\times n$ Hadamard matrices. It is shown that in general the Hadamard…
