In this article, we develop a k-free zeta Dirichlet series into a Laurent series with a simple pole, and prove a Stieltjes like formula for the expansion coefficients of the regular part. We also investigate another analytical continuation…
The continued fraction expansion of an irrational number $\alpha$ is eventually periodic if and only if $\alpha$ is a quadratic irrationality. However, very little is known regarding the size of the partial quotients of algebraic real…
The paper studies the existence of periodic solutions of a perturbed relativistic Kepler problem of the type \begin{equation*} \dfrac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}t}\left(\frac{m\dot{x}}{\sqrt{1-|\dot{x}|^{2}/c^{2}}}\right) =…
Let $\alpha,\beta,\gamma\in\mathbb{N}$. We prove that given an $r$-colouring of $\mathbb{F}_p$ with $p$ prime, there are more than $c_{r,\alpha,\beta,\gamma} p^2$ solutions to the equation $x^\alpha+y^\beta=z^\gamma$ with all of $x,y,z$ of…
For integers $k\geq 3,d\geq 2,$ we consider the abundance property of pinned $k$-point patterns occurring in $E\subseteq \mathbb R^d$ with positive upper density $\delta(E)$. We show that for any fixed $k$-point pattern $V$, there is a set…
We show that infinitely many three-term arithmetic progressions $N, N+d, N+2d$ of powerful numbers exist with $d = 2\sqrt{N} + 1$. We further conjecture that infinitely many of these progressions consist of three consecutive terms in the…
Due to degeneracy near the boundary, the question of high regularity for solutions to the steady Prandtl equations has been a longstanding open question since the celebrated work of Olenick. We settle this open question in affirmative in…
The exact set of periodic points in $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$ of the algebraic function $\widehat{F}(z)=(-1\pm \sqrt{1-z^4})/z^2$ is shown to consist of the coordinates of certain solutions $(x,y)=(\pi, \xi)$ of the Fermat equation…
We find all positive integer solutions in $x, y$ and $n$ of $x^2+19^{2k+1}=4y^{n}$ for any non-negative integer $k$.
Consider a form $g(x_1,...,x_s)$ of degree $d$, having coefficients in the completion $F_q((1/t))$ of the field of fractions $F_q(t)$ associated to the finite field $F_q$. We establish that whenever $s>d^2$, then the form $g$ takes…
It is a generalization of Pell's equation $x^2-Dy^2=0$. Here, we show that: if our Diophantine equation has a particular integer solution and $ab$ is not a perfect square, then the equation has an infinite number of solutions; in this case…
We fix a positive integer $k$ and look for solutions of the equations $\phi(n+k) = \phi(n)$ and $\phi(n + k) = 2\phi(n)$. We prove that Fermat primes can be used to build five solutions for the first equation when $k$ is even and five for…
Linek's 1989 problem asks whether the numbers of independent sets of trees avoid infinitely many positive integers. We show that the set of natural numbers realized as the number of independent sets of a tree has a lower growth exponent of…
It has been shown by Madden that there are only finitely many quadratic extensions of k(x), k a finite field, in which the ideal class group has exponent two and the infinity place of k(x) ramifies. We give a characterization of such fields…
Quadrature formulas for $\int_a^b f(x) dx$ where derivative terms need only be evaluated at $a$ and $b$ in the composite rule are identified. Error bounds are given when $f:[a,b]\to\mathbb{R}$ satisfies $f^{(n-1)}$ is absolutely continuous…
For an integer $d\geq 2$ which is not a square, we show that there is at most one value of the positive integer $X$ participating in the Pell equation $X^2-dY^2=\pm 1$ which is a Tribonacci number, with a few exceptions that we completely…
We prove the Existential Closedness conjecture for the differential equation of the $j$-function and its derivatives. It states that in a differentially closed field certain equations involving the differential equation of the $j$-function…
