In this paper we solve the Diophantine equation $\binom{m}{l}-\binom{n}{k}=d$ (where m,n are positive integers unknowns) when (k,l)=(3,6) for various values of d and when (k,l)=(8,2) and d=1. As a byproduct of our results we will obtain…

It is well-known that for any distinct positive integers $k$ and $n$, the numbers $2^{2^k}+1$ and $2^{2^n}+1$ are relatively prime. In this paper we consider the situation when 1 is replaced by some positive integer $d>1$

In this paper, we explicitly find all solutions of the title Diophantine equation, using lower bounds for linear forms in logarithms and properties of continued fractions. Further, we use a version of the Baker-Davenport reduction method in…

In this paper we extend a result of Hirata-Kohno, Laishram, Shorey and Tijdeman on the Diophantine equation $n(n+d)...(n+(k-1)d)=by^2,$ where $n,d,k\geq 2$ and $y$ are positive integers such that $\gcd(n,d)=1.$

For any positive integer $n$, let $f(n)$ denote the number of solutions to the Diophantine equation $\frac{4}{n} = \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{y} + \frac{1}{z}$ with $x,y,z$ positive integers. The \emph{Erd\H{o}s-Straus conjecture} asserts that…

We prove a theorem about approximation to an irrational number by rational numbers whose denominator n is free of prime factors bigger than a power of log n. We strengthen the result in version 1 by using an exponential sum over smooth…

For the positive integer $n$, let $f(n)$ denote the number of positive integer solutions $(n_1,\,n_2,\,n_3)$ of the Diophantine equation $$ {4\over n}={1\over n_1}+{1\over n_2}+{1\over n_3}. $$ For the prime number $p$, $f(p)$ can be split…

Let $\{u_{n}\}_{n \geq 0}$ be a non-degenerate binary recurrence sequence with positive, square-free discriminant and $p$ be a fixed prime number. In this paper, we have shown the finiteness result for the solutions of the Diophantine…

Fix a prime $p$ and an integer $m$ with $p> m \geq 2$. Define the family of finite groups \[ G_n :=SL_m (\mathbb{Z}/p^{n}\mathbb{Z}) \] for $n=1,2,... $. We will prove that there exist two positive constants $C$ and $d$ such that for any…

Let $ \{L_n\}_{n\geq 0} $ be the sequence of Lucas numbers. In this paper, we look at the exponential Diophantine equation $L_n-2^x3^y=c$, for $n,x,y\in \mathbb{Z}_{\ge0}$. We treat the cases $c\in -\mathbb{N}$, $c=0$ and $c\in \mathbb{N}$…

The object of this paper is to give a new proof of all the solutions of the Diophantine equation x^2+11^m=y^n; in positive integers x, y with odd m>1 and n>=3.

We obtain global explicit numerical bounds, with best possible constants, for the differences $\frac{1}{n}\sum_{k\leq n}\omega(k)-\log\log n$ and$ \frac{1}{n}\sum_{k\leq n}\Omega(k)-\log\log n$, where $\omega(k)$ and $\Omega(k)$ refer to…

Let E_n={x_i=1, x_i+x_j=x_k, x_i \cdot x_j=x_k: i,j,k \in {1,...,n}}. If Matiyasevich's conjecture on single-fold Diophantine representations is true, then for every computable function f:N->N there is a positive integer m(f) such that for…

There are two main interrelated goals of this paper. Firstly we investigate the sums \[ S_N(\alpha,\gamma):=\sum_{n=1}^N\frac{1}{n\|n\alpha-\gamma\|}~~~\text{and}~~~ R_N(\alpha,\gamma):=\sum_{n=1}^N\frac{1}{\|n\alpha-\gamma\|}\,, \] where…

Given an integer $k$, define $C_k$ as the set of integers $n > \max(k,0)$ such that $a^{n-k+1} \equiv a \pmod{n}$ holds for all integers $a$. We establish various multiplicative properties of the elements in $C_k$ and give a sufficient…
