The concept of porous numbers is presented. A number $k$ which is not a multiple of 10 is called {\it porous} if every number $m$ with sum of digits = $k$ and $k$ a divisor of both $m$ and digit reversal of $m$ has a zero in its digits. It…

Let $k \geq 2$ and $b \geq 3$ be integers, and suppose that $d_1, d_2 \in \{0,1,\dots, b - 1\}$ are distinct and coprime. Let $\mathcal{S}$ be the set of non-negative integers, all of whose digits in base $b$ are either $d_1$ or $d_2$. Then…

For relatively prime integers $a$ and $b$ both greater than one and odd integer $c$, there are at most two solutions in positive integers $(x,y,z)$ to the equation $a^x + b^y = c^z$. There are an infinite number of $(a,b,c)$ giving exactly…

In this paper we present a new proof of the following 2010 result of Dubickas, Novikas, and Siurys: Let $(a,b)\in \mathbb{Z}^2$ and let $(x_n)_{n\ge 0}$ be the sequence defined by some initial values $x_0$ and $x_1$ and the second order…

Let $s(n)$ denote the sum of digits in the binary expansion of the integer $n$. Hare, Laishram and Stoll (2011) studied the number of odd integers such that $s(n)=s(n^2)=k$, for a given integer $k\geq 1$. The remaining cases that could not…

Let $a$, $b$, $c$ be fixed coprime positive integers with $\min\{ a,b,c \} >1$. Let $N(a,b,c)$ denote the number of positive integer solutions $(x,y,z)$ of the equation $a^x + b^y = c^z$. We show that if $(a,b,c)$ is a triple of distinct…

We establish new upper bounds for the length of runs of consecutive positive integers each with exactly $k$ divisors, where $k$ is a given positive integer of some special forms. Also we have found exact values of the maximum possible runs…

The following system of equations {x_1 \cdot x_1=x_2, x_2 \cdot x_2=x_3, 2^{2^{x_1}}=x_3, x_4 \cdot x_5=x_2, x_6 \cdot x_7=x_2} has exactly one solution in ({\mathbb N}\{0,1})^7, namely (2,4,16,2,2,2,2). Hypothesis 1 states that if a system…

In this note, we show the existence of integer sequences of lengths at least 3 (except 7) such that for every integer in position $i\equiv 1\pmod{4}$ (respectively position $j\equiv 3\pmod{4}$), counting from left to right, the sum of the…

If the list of binary numbers is read by upward-sloping diagonals, the resulting ``sloping binary numbers'' 0, 11, 110, 101, 100, 1111, 1010, ... (or 0, 3, 6, 5, 4, 15, 10, ...) have some surprising properties. We give formulae for the n-th…

We prove some general recursions for the numbers of representations of positive integers as a sum x+y, x in X, y in Y, where X,Y are increasing sequences. In particular, we obtain recursions for the number of the Goldbach, Lemoine-Levy,…

We show that there are at most two solutions in positive integers $(x,y,z)$ to the equation $a^x+b^y=c^z$ for positive integers $a$, $b$, and $c$ all greater than one, with just one exceptional case when $\gcd(a,b)=1$, and just one…

We consider a variant of the ABC Conjecture, attempting to count the number of solutions to $A+B+C=0$, in relatively prime integers $A,B,C$ each of absolute value less than $N$ with $r(A)<|A|^a, r(B)<|B|^b, r(C)<|C|^c.$ The ABC Conjecture…

In this article we will show $2$ different proofs for the fact that there exist relatively prime positive integers $a,b$ such that: $a^2+ab+b^2=7^n$.

It is conjectured that for any fixed relatively prime positive integers $a,b$ and $c$ all greater than 1 there is at most one solution to the equation $a^x+b^y=c^z$ in positive integers $x,y$ and $z$, except for specific cases. We develop…

We obtain best possible results for the number of coprime positive integer solutions of the equation in the title when $a$ is a positive integer, $b=p^{m}$, $2p^{m}$ or $4p^{m}$, where $m$ is a non-negative integer, $p$ is prime, $\gcd…

Let $1<a<b$ be two relatively prime integers and $\mathbb{Z}_{\ge 0}$ the set of non-negative integers. For any non-negative integer $\ell$, denote by $g_{\ell,a,b}$ the largest integer $n$ such that the equation $$n=ax+by,\quad…

In this paper we consider integers in base 10 like $abc$, where $a$, $b$, $c$ are digits of the integer, such that $abc^2 - (abc \cdot cba) \; = \; \pm n^2$, where $n$ is a positive integer, as well as equations $abc^2 - (abc \cdot cba) \;…

Let $b$ be an integer greater than or equal to $2$. For any integer $n\in \left[b^{\lambda-1}, b^{\lambda}-1\right]$, we denote by $R_\lambda (n)$ the reverse of $n$ in base $b$, obtained by reversing the order of the digits of $n$. We…
