Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of an integer solution of the diophantine equation $m/n=1/x(\lambda)+1/y(\lambda)+1/z(\lambda)$ with $n=b+a\lambda$ are explicitly given for a,b coprime and a not a multiple of m . The…
We solve Diophantine equations of the type $ a \, (x^3 \!+ \! y^3 \!+ \! z^3 ) = (x \! + \! y \! + \! z)^3$, where $x,y,z$ are integer variables, and the coefficient $a\neq 0$ is rational. We show that there are infinite families of such…
The classical Pell equation can be extended to the cubic case considering the elements of norm one in $Z[\sqrt[3]{r}]$, which satisfy $x^3 + r y^3 + r^2 z^3 - 3 r x y z = 1$. The solution of the cubic Pell equation is harder than the…
We consider the equality of the values of the $n$th and $k$th elementary symmetric polynomials of $n$ not necessarily distinct positive integers. For $k < n$, we prove that this equation always has a solution, but only finitely many…
For fixed integers $D \geq 0$ and $c \geq 3$, we demonstrate how to use $2$-adic valuation trees of sequences to analyze Diophantine equations of the form $x^2+D=2^cy$ and $x^3+D=2^cy$, for $y$ odd. Further, we show for what values $D \in…
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…

A $k$-Markov number is a positive integer that appears in a positive integral solution to the Diophantine equation $x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + k(xy + xz + yz) = (3+3k)xyz$. This equation was introduced by Gyoda and Matsushita. When $k =0$, this…
Let $(F_n)_{n\geq 0}$ be the Fibonacci sequence given by $F_0 = 0, F_1 = 1$ and $F_{n+2} = F_{n+1}+F_n$ for $n \geq 0$. In this paper, we solve all powers of two which are sums of four Fibonacci numbers with a few exceptions that we…

It is important in drawing techniques to find combinations of two straight lines and their angle bisectors whose slopes are all rational numbers. This problem is reduced to solving the Diophantine equation $(a-c)^2(b^2+1) = (b-c)^2(a^2+1).$…
