In this paper we will explore the solutions to the diophantine equation in the Erd\H{o}s-Straus conjecture. For a prime $p$ we are discussing the relationship between the values $x,y,z \in \mathbb{N}$ so that $$ \frac{4}{p} = \frac{1}{x} +…
In this paper we attack the Erdos-Straus conjecture by means of the structure of its solutions, extending and improving the results of a previous paper. Using previous results and supported by the works of Elsholtz and Tao and Monks and…
The Diophantine equation 4/n=1/x+1/y+1/z for a Pythagorean prime n is split into two independent Diophantine equations, which correspond to two different types of solution. The solvability of these equations forces certain restrictions on…
This paper outlines a solution to the Straus Erd\H{o}s Conjecture. Namely for each prime $p$ there exists positive integers $x \leq y \leq z$ so that $$ \frac{4}{p} = \frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{z} $$
This paper makes a fundamental assertion about the Erd\H{o}s-Straus conjecture. Suppose that for a prime $p$ there exists $x,y,z \in \mathbb{N}$ with $x \leq y \leq z$ so that $$ \frac{4}{p} = \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{y} + \frac{1}{z}. $$ The…
We provide empirical evidence for the Erd\H{o}s-Straus conjecture by improving computational bounds to $10^{18}$ and by evaluating the solution-counting function $f(p)$ for this conjecture.
In this paper, we pose lots of challenging conjectures on congruences for the sums involving binomial coefficients and Ap\'ery-like numbers modulo $p^3$, where $p$ is an odd prime.
We find a polynomial in three variables whose values at nonnegative integers satisfy the Erd\H{o}s-Straus Conjecture. Although the perfect squares are not covered by these values, it allows us to prove that there are arbitrarily long…
In this paper we classify certain values of p that satisfy the Erdos-Straus conjecture, concerning the decomposition of fractions of the form 4/n as sum of three fractions with numerator identically equal to 1, not according to their…
The Erdos-Straus conjecture (ESC) concerns the representation of the fraction 4/P, where P is a prime number, as a sum of three positive unit fractions. The focus here is on the case when P is congruent to 1 modulo 4. Two constructive…
The aim of this expository article is twofold. The first is to introduce several polynomials of one variable as well as two variables defined on the positive integers with values as congruent numbers. The second is to present connections…
Relatively prime pairs of integers can be represented as nodes in three way branching trees. We construct trees of B\'ezout coefficients which correspond to the relatively prime pairs in the aforementioned trees. As one application, we…
This paper makes the following conjecture: For every prime $p$ there exists a positive integer $x$ with $\left\lceil \frac{p}{4} \right\rceil \leq x \leq \left\lceil \frac{p}{2} \right\rceil$ and a positive divisor $d|x^2$ so that either:…
We consider several old problems involving the number of prime divisors function $\omega(n)$, as well as the related functions $\Omega(n)$ and $\tau(n)$. Firstly, we show that there are infinitely many positive integers $n$ such that…
The Erd\H{o}s-Straus conjecture is a renowned problem which describes that for every natural number $n~(\ge 2)$, $\frac{4}{n}$ can be represented as the sum of three unit fractions. The main purpose of this study is to show that the…
Let $p$ be an odd prime. In the paper we collect the author's various conjectures on congruences modulo $p$ or $p^2$, which are concerned with sums of binomial coefficients, Lucas sequences, power residues and special binary quadratic…
Some relations among Pythagorean triples are established. The main tool is a fundamental characterization of the Pythagorean triples through a chatetus which allows to determine relationships with Pythagorean triples having the same…
We give elementary proofs for the Apagodu-Zeilberger-Stanton-Amdeberhan-Tauraso congruences $$\sum\limits_{n=0}^{p-1}\dbinom{2n}{n} \equiv\eta_{p}\mod p^{2},$$ $$\sum\limits_{n=0}^{rp-1}\dbinom{2n}{n}…
This article proposes a unified analytical approach leading to a partial resolution of the Erdos-Straus, Sierpinski conjectures, and their generalization. We introduce an equivalent reformulation of these conjectures while constructing two…
