We solve the Dirichlet problem for fully nonlinear elliptic equations on Riemannian manifolds under essentially optimal structure conditions, especially with no restrictions to the curvature of the underlying manifold and the second…
In this paper, we prove a theorem about the integer solutions to the Diophantine equation $x^{4}-q^{4}=py^{r}$, extending previous work of K.Gy\H ory, and F.Luca and A.Togbe, and of the author.
Let $\{u_{n}\}_{n \geq 0}$ be a non-degenerate binary recurrence sequence with positive, square-free discriminant and $p$ be a fixed prime number. In this paper, we have shown the finiteness result for the solutions of the Diophantine…
We study the Diophantine equation of type $U_n(x)=V_m(y)$, where $(U_n)_{n\geq 0}$ and $(V_m)_{m\geq 0}$ are polynomial power sums defined over a number field $K$. By applying the finiteness criterion of Bilu and Tichy, we show under…
New formulae are presented for the number $P(b)$ of non-negative integer solutions of a Diophantine equation $\sum_{i=1}^{n}a_ix_i=b$ and for the number $Q(b)$ of non-negative integer solutions of the Diophantine inequality…
We show that the generalized Fermat equations with signatures (5,5,7), (5,5,19), and (7,7,5) (and unit coefficients) have no non-trivial primitive integer solutions. Assuming GRH, we also prove the nonexistence of non-trivial primitive…
In this semi-expository article we solve the diophantine equation $m^5+(4 \cdot 5^4 b^4)mn^4 - n^5=1$ for all integers $b \neq 0$. This gives an example of a family of quintic Thue equations that can be solved completely by using nothing…
We discuss several open problems in Diophantine approximation. Among them there are famous Littlewood's and Zaremba's conjectures as well as some new and not so famous problems.
Let $B_k$ denote the $k^{th}$ term of balancing sequence. In this paper we find all positive integer solutions of the Diophantine equation $B_n+B_m = x^q$ in variables $(m, n,x,q)$ under the assumption $n\equiv m \pmod 2$. Furthermore, we…
Consider the equation $q_1\alpha^{x_1}+\dots+q_k\alpha^{x_k} = q$, with constants $\alpha \in \overline{\mathbb{Q}} \setminus \{0,1\}$, $q_1,\ldots,q_k,q\in\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$ and unknowns $x_1,\ldots,x_k$, referred to in this paper as…
We consider the problem of characterizing solutions in $(x, y)$ to the equation ${x \choose y}={{x-a} \choose {y+b}}$ in terms of $a$ and $b$. We obtain one simple result which allows the determination of a ratio in terms of $a$ and $b$…
In this paper we carry out the steps of Darmon's program for the generalized Fermat equation $$ x^n + y^n = z^5. $$ In particular, we develop the machinery necessary to prove an optimal bound on the exponent $n$ for solutions satisfying…
In this book a multitude of Diophantine equations and their partial or complete solutions are presented. How should we solve, for example, the equation {\eta}({\pi}(x)) = {\pi}({\eta}(x)), where {\eta} is the Smarandache function and {\pi}…
Let $n$ be a non-negative integer and put $p_{n}(x)=\prod_{i=0}^{n}(x+i)$. In the first part of the paper, for given $n$, we study the existence of integer solutions of the Diophantine equation $$ y^m=p_{n}(x)+\sum_{i=1}^{k}p_{a_{i}}(x), $$…

We study the exponential Diophantine equation $x^2+p^mq^n=2y^p$ in positive integers $x,y,m,n$, and odd primes $p$ and $q$ using primitive divisors of Lehmer sequences in combination with elementary number theory. We discuss the solvability…

The main result of the present paper is the construction of fundamental solutions for a class of multidimensional elliptic equations with three singular coefficients, which could be expressed in terms of a confluent hypergeometric function…
