We consider the Diophantine equation X^n - 1 = B.Z^n, where B in Z is understood as a parameter. We prove that if the equation has a solution, then either the Euler totient of the radical, phi(rad (B)), has a common divisor with the…
We will use Thue-Siegel method, based on Pad\'e approximation via hypergeometric functions, to give upper bounds for the number of integral solutions to the equation $|F(x, y)| = 1$ as well as the inequalities $|F(x, y)| \leq h$, for a…
We establish some upper bounds for the number of integer solutions to the Thue inequality $|F(x , y)| \leq m$, where $F$ is a binary form of degree $n \geq 3$ and with non-zero discriminant $D$, and $m$ is an integer. Our upper bounds are…
Let $r,h\in\mathbb{N}$ with $r\geq 7$ and let $F(x,y)\in \mathbb{Z}[x ,y]$ be a binary form such that \[ F(x , y) =(\alpha x + \beta y)^r -(\gamma x + \delta y)^r, \] where $\alpha$, $\beta$, $\gamma$ and $\delta$ are algebraic constants…
Let $F(X,Y)=\sum\limits_{i=0}^sa_iX^{r_i}Y^{r-r_i}\in\mathbb{Z}[X,Y]$ be a form of degree $r=r_s\geq 3$, irreducible over $\mathbb{Q}$ and having at most $s+1$ non-zero coefficients. Mueller and Schmidt showed that the number of solutions…
Let $F(x,y)$ be an irreducible binary form of degree $\geq 3$ with integer coefficients and with real roots. Let $M$ be an imaginary quadratic field, with ring of integers $Z_M$. Let $K>0$. We describe an efficient method how to reduce the…
We exactly determine the integral solutions to a previously untreated infinite family of cubic Thue equations of the form $F(x,y)=1$ with at least $5$ such solutions. Our approach combines elementary arguments, with lower bounds for linear…
In this paper, we study the number of integer pair solutions to the equation $|F(x,y)| = 1$ where $F(x,y) \in \mathbb{Z}[x,y]$ is an irreducible (over $\mathbb{Z}$) binary form with degree $n \geqslant 3$ and exactly three nonzero summands.…
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)…
Let $(A_n)_{n\in \mathbb{N}}, (B_n)_{n\in \mathbb{N}} \in \mathbb{Z}^{\mathbb{N}}$ be two linear-recurrent sequences that meet a dominant root condition and a few more technical requirements. We show that the split family of Thue equations…
This paper investigates the exponential Diophantine equation of the form $a^x+b=c^y$, where $a, b, c$ are given positive integers with $a,c \ge 2$, and $x,y$ are positive integer unknowns. We define this form as a "Type-I transcendental…
In this paper, it is shown that if F(x , y) is an irreducible binary form with integral coefficients and degree $n \geq 3$, then provided that the absolute value of the discriminant of F is large enough, the equation |F(x , y)| = 1 has at…
As an application of the method of Thue-Siegel, we will resolve a conjecture of Walsh to the effect that the Diophantine equation $aX^{4} - bY^2=1$, for fixed positive integers $a$ and $b$, possesses at most two solutions in positive…
Following a method originally due to Siegel, we establish upper bounds for the number of primitive integer solutions to inequalities of the shape $0<|F(x, y)| \leq h$, where $F(x , y) =(\alpha x + \beta y)^r -(\gamma x + \delta y)^r \in…
In this paper, we use a variety of classical and new research methods for ternary exponential Diophantine equations and extensive use of computer calculations to study the conjecture of R. Scott and R. Styer which asserts that for any fixed…
We study the solutions of a Diophantine equation of the form $a^x+b^y=c^z$, where $a\equiv 2 \pmod 4$, $b\equiv 3 \pmod 4$ and $\gcd (a,b,c)=1$. The main result is that if there exists a solution $(x,y,z)=(2,2,r)$ with $r>1$ odd then this…

It is well-known that the two-parameter Mittag-Leffler (ML) function plays a key role in Fractional Calculus. In this paper, we address the problem of computing this function, when its argument is a square matrix. Effective methods for…
It is a classical fact that the exponential function is solution of the integral equation $ \int_0^X f(x)dx + f(0) =f(X)$. If we slightly modify this equation to $ \int_0^X f(x)dx+f(0)=f(\alpha X)$ with $\alpha\in ]0,1[$, it seems that no…
Since 1772, when Euler first described two methods of obtaining two pairs of biquadrates with equal sums, several methods of solving the diophantine equation $x^4+y^4=z^4+w^4$ have been published. All these methods yield parametric…
