We extend the famous diophantine Frobenius problem to the case of polynomials over a field $k$. Similar to the classical problem, we show that the $n=2$ case of the Frobenius problem for polynomials is easy to solve. In addition, we…
We give the general solution of three Diophantine equations in the ring of integer of the algebraic number field ${\bf Q}[{\sqr 5}]$. These equations are related to the problem of determination of the minimum distance in quasicrystals with…

In this paper we consider Diophantine equations of the form $f(x)=g(y)$ where $f$ has simple rational roots and $g$ has rational coefficients. We give strict conditions for the cases where the equation has infinitely many solutions in…
In this paper we analyze the extension of the classical smallest enclosing disk problem to the case of the location of a polyellipsoid to fully cover a set of demand points in $\mathbb{R}^d$. We prove that the problem is polynomially…

By the theory of elliptic curves, we investigate the nontrivial rational parametric solutions of the Diophantine equation $f(x)f(y)=f(z)^n$, where $n=1,2$ and $f(X)$ are some simple Laurent polynomials.
In an earlier paper, Tatong and Suvarnamani explores the Diophantine equation $p^x + p^y = z^2$ for a prime number $p$. In that paper they find some solutions to the equation for $p=2, 3$. In this paper, we look at a general version of this…
Diophantine equations can often be reduced to various types of classical Thue equations. These equations usually have only very small solutions, on the other hand to compute all solutions (i.e. to prove the non-existence of large solutions)…
Linear differential equations of arbitrary order with polynomial coefficients are considered. Specifically, necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of polynomial solutions of a given degree are obtained for these equations. An…
We discuss some easy statements dealing with linear inhomogeneous Diophantine approximation. Surprisingly, we did not find some of them in the literature.
The positive existential theories of the sets $M_n(\mathbb N)$ without parameters build an inclusion lattice isomorhic with the lattice of divisibility. All these sets are algorithmically undecidable. In further sections some easier…
We find a parametric solution of an arbitrary symmetric homogeneous diophantine equation of 5th degree in 6 variables using two primitive solutions. We then generalize this approach to symmetric forms of any odd degree by proving the…
In this paper we continue the investigation of finding the max/min polygons which can be inscribed in a given triangle. Here we are concerned with equilateral triangles. This may seem uninteresting or benign at first, but there are some…

We prove that the Diophantine problem for orientable quadratic equations in free metabelian groups is decidable and furthermore, NP-complete. In the case when the number of variables in the equation is bounded, the problem is decidable in…
We define the parametric closure problem, in which the input is a partially ordered set whose elements have linearly varying weights and the goal is to compute the sequence of minimum-weight lower sets of the partial order as the weights…
A partial formula is provided to calculate the smallest number of vertices possible in a quadrangulation on the closed orientable 2-manifold of given genus. This extends the previously known partial formula due to N. Hartsfield and G.…
