The Pell equation $x^2 - Dy^2 = 1$ with non-square $D > 1$ has infinitely many integer solutions, yet most research has centered on the asymptotic behavior of fundamental units as $D$ varies. By contrast, the exact distribution of solutions…
Finding the largest pair of consecutive $B$-smooth integers is computationally challenging. Current algorithms to find such pairs have an exponential runtime -- which has only be provably done for $B \leq 100$ and heuristically for $100 < B…
We consider the simultaneous Pell equations $$x^2 - ay^2 = 1, \qquad z^2 - bx^2 = 1,$$ where $a > b\geq 2$ are positive integers. We describe a procedure which, for any fixed $b$, either confirms that the simultaneous Pell equations have at…
Let $a,b,c $ be any positive integers such that $c\mid ab$ and $d_i^\pm$ is a square free positive integer of the form $d_i^\pm=a^{2k} b^{2l}\pm i c^m$ where $k,l \geq m$ and $i=1,2.$ The main focus of this paper to find the fundamental…
Let $b\ge 2$ be a given integer. In this paper, we show that there only finitely many positive integers $d$ which are not squares, such that the Pell equation $X^2-dY^2=1$ has two positive integer solutions $(X,Y)$ with the property that…
On the coordinate plane, the slopes $a$ and $b$ of two straight lines and the slope $c$ of one of their angle bisectors satisfy the equation $(a-c)^2(b^2+1) = (b-c)^2(a^2+1).$ Recently, an explicit formula for nontrivial integral solutions…
Let $ \{P_{n}\}_{n\geq 0} $ be the sequence of Padovan numbers defined by $ P_0=0 $, $ P_1 = P_2=1$ and $ P_{n+3}= P_{n+1} +P_n$ for all $ n\geq 0 $. In this paper, we find all positive square-free integers $ d $ such that the Pell…
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 $(a-c)^2(b^2+1) = (b-c)^2(a^2+1).$…
We consider the error term of the asymptotic formula for the number of pairs of $k$-free integers up to $x$. Our error term improves results by Heath-Brown, Brandes and Dietmann/Marmon. We then extend our results to $r$-tuples of $k$-free…
The aim of this expository article is twofold. The first is to introduce several polynomials of one variable as well as two variables defined on the positive integers with values as congruent numbers. The second is to present connections…
By applying methods recently developed by A. Smith with regards to Goldfeld's conjecture, we show that the density of square-free integers $d$ in $[1, N]$ for which the negative Pell equation $x^2 - dy^2 = -1$ has a solution is as predicted…
This paper systematically investigates the properties and characterization of interval B-tensors and interval double B-tensors. We propose verifiable necessary and sufficient conditions that allow for determining whether an entire interval…
We use exponent pairs to establish the existence of many $x^a$-smooth numbers in short intervals $[x-x^b,x]$, when $a>1/2$. In particular, $b=1-a-a(1-a)^3$ is admissible. Assuming the exponent-pairs conjecture, one can take…
The aim of this paper is to study distributional properties of integers without large or small prime factors. Define an integer to be $[y',y]$-smooth if all of its prime factors belong to the interval $[y',y]$. We identify suitable weights…
Square roots $s$ of sums of $M$ consecutive integer squares starting from $a^{2}\geq1$ are integers if $M\equiv0,9,24$ or $33(mod\,72)$; or $M\equiv1,2$ or $16(mod\,24)$; or $M\equiv11(mod\,12)$ and cannot be integers if $M\equiv3,5,6,7,8$…
In this paper, we study the many-to-many matching problem on planar point sets with integer coordinates: Given two disjoint sets $R,B \subset [\Delta]^2$ with $|R|+|B|=n$, the goal is to select a set of edges between $R$ and $B$ so that…
We give sufficient conditions for some underdetermined elliptic PDE of any order to construct smooth compactly supported solutions. In particular we show that two smooth elements in the kernel of certain underdetermined linear elliptic…

First, we consider the equation $ax^2 - by^2 + c = 0$, with $a,b \in N*$ and $c \in Z*$, which is a generalization of Pell's equation. Here, we show that: if this equation has an integer solution and $ab$ is not a perfect square, then it…
