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…
