We give conditions on the rational numbers a,b,c which imply that there are infinitely many triples (x,y,z) of rational numbers such that x+y+z=a+b+c and xyz=abc. We do the same for the equations x+y+z=a+b+c and x^3+y^3+z^3=a^3+b^3+c^3.…

Let $u_n$ be a fixed non-degenerate binary recurrence sequence with positive discriminant, $w$ a fixed non-zero integer and $p_1,p_2,\dots,p_s$ fixed, distinct prime numbers. In this paper we consider the Diophantine equation $u_n+u_m=w…

Let $(L_n)_{n\geq 0}$ be the Lucas sequence given by $L_0 = 2, L_1 = 1$ and $L_{n+2} = L_{n+1}+L_n$ for $n \geq 0$. In this paper, we are interested in finding all powers of three which are sums of two Lucas numbers, i.e., we study the…

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…

The original version of this paper did not take into account that there may be solutions (x_0, y_o)in Z X Z of f(x,y) = x^3 + p(y)x + q(y) = 0 even though w_0 = (-3D(y_0))^(1/2) is irrational.

For a given irrational number, we consider the properties of best rational approximations of given parities. There are three different kinds of rational numbers according to the parity of the numerator and denominator, say odd/odd, even/odd…

In this paper, we obtain new results on the integers solutions X, Y, Z of the diophantine equation X^t+Y^t=BZ^t for a rationnal integer B and a prime number t verifying some conditions explained in the paper.

We present structural results on solutions to the Diophantine system $A{\boldsymbol y} = {\boldsymbol b}$, ${\boldsymbol y} \in \mathbb Z^t_{\ge 0}$ with the smallest number of non-zero entries. Our tools are algebraic and number theoretic…

In this work, we accomplish three goals. First, we determine the entire family of positive integer solutions to the three- variable Diophantine equation, xy=z^2; for n=2,3,4,5,6. For n=2, we obtain a 3-parameter family of solutions; for…

Let $S := \{p_1,\ldots ,p_{\ell}\}$ be a finite set of primes and denote by $\mathcal{U}_S$ the set of all rational integers whose prime factors are all in $S$. Let $(U_n)_{n\geq 0}$ be a non-degenerate linear recurrence sequence with order…

Using a recent result of Salberger, we establish the paucity of non-trivial positive integer solutions to a certain system of diagonal Diophantine equations.

We give sufficient conditions to determine the existence of nontrivial solutions to the Fermat equation $x^3+y^3=kz^3$ over $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d})$ by constructing a relationship with the points on the elliptic curve $y^2=x^3-432d^3k^2$ over…

Join-preserving maps on the discrete time scale $\omega^+$, referred to as time warps, have been proposed as graded modalities that can be used to quantify the growth of information in the course of program execution. The set of time warps…

For fixed integer $a\ge3$, we study the binary Diophantine equation $\frac{a}n=\frac1x+\frac1y$ and in particular the number $E_a(N)$ of $n\le N$ for which the equation has no positive integer solutions in $x, y$. The asymptotic formula…

Let $\{ {U_{n}\}_{n \geq 0} }$ be a non-degenerate binary recurrence sequence with positive discriminant. Let $\{p_1,\ldots, p_s\}$ be fixed prime numbers and $\{b_1,\ldots ,b_s\}$ be fixed non-negative integers. In this paper, we obtain…

Harvey Friedman asked in 1986 whether the function f(x,y) = x^2 + y^3 on the real plane R^2 satisfies any identities; examples of identities are commutativity and associativity. To solve this problem of Friedman, we must either find a…
