In this paper we mainly study the existence and the form of entire solutions with finite order for the following system of Fermat-type difference and partial differential-difference equations $$\begin{cases} f_1(z)^2+(\Delta_cf_2(z))^2=1\cr…

We find bounds for the maximal length of a sequence of distinct $\bf{\Gamma_{2n+1,m}}$-sets under $AD$ and show there is no sequence of distinct $\bf{\Gamma_{2n+1}}$-sets of length $\bf{\delta^1_{2n+3}}$. As a special case, there is no…

We classify integer abc-equations c = a + b (to be defined), according to their radical R(abc) and prove that the resulting equivalence classes contain only a finite number of such equations. The proof depends on a 1933 theorem of Kurt…

Let $a, b\in \mathbb{N}$ be relatively prime. Previous work showed that exactly one of the two equations $ax + by = (a-1)(b-1)/2$ and $ax + by + 1 = (a-1)(b-1)/2$ has a nonnegative, integral solution; furthermore, the solution is unique.…

Let $\Omega(n)$ denote the number of prime factors of $n$. We show that for any bounded $f\colon\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{C}$ one has \[ \frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=1}^N\, f(\Omega(n)+1)=\frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=1}^N\, f(\Omega(n))+\mathrm{o}_{N\to\infty}(1).…

This paper studies integer solutions to the ABC equation A+B+C=0 in which none of A, B, C has a large prime factor. Set H(A,B, C)= max(|A|,|B|,|C|) and set the smoothness S(A, B, C) to be the largest prime factor of ABC. We consider…

We study rational periodic points of polynomial $f_{d,c}(x)=x^d+c$ over the field of rational numbers, where $d$ is an integer greater than 2. For period 2, we classify all possible periodic points for degrees $d=4,6$. We also demonstrate…

The equation $f^n+g^n=1$, $n\in\mathbb{N}$ can be regarded as the Fermat Diophantine equation over the function field. In this paper we study the characterization of entire solutions of some system of Fermat type functional equations by…

Assume that $n$ is a positive integer, $p_{j}$ ($j=1,2, \cdots, 6)$ are polynomials, $p$ is an irreducible polynomial, and $f$ is an entire function on $\mathbb{C}^{n}.$ Let $ L(f)=\sum_{j=1}^s q_{t_j}f_{z_{t_j}}$ and…

We study the polynomials $x^n + (1-x)^n + a^n, a \in\mathbb{Q}$, whose rational roots would yield counterexamples to Fermat's Last Theorem. We investigate their factorization over $\mathbb{Q}$. In the case $a \notin \{0, \pm 1\}$, we ask…

Let $(q_{\alpha, n})_{n \geq 0}$ be the sequence of convergent denominators to the simple continued fraction expansion of $\alpha$. For certain specific choices of $\alpha$, this sequence is a Lehmer sequence. In this paper, we show that…

Fix a rational prime $r \geq 5$. In this article, we study the integer solutions of the generalized Fermat equation of signature $(2p,2q,r)$, namely $x^{2p}+y^{2q}=z^r$, where the primes $p,q \geq 5$ are varying. For each rational prime $r…

Paul Erdos conjectured that for every n in N, n>1, there exist a, b, c natural numbers, not necessarily distinct, so that 4/n=1/a+1/b+1/c (see \cite{rg}). In this paper we prove an extension of Mordell's theorem and formulate a conjecture…

Suppose x^m + c*x^n is a permutation polynomial over GF(p), where p>5 is prime, m>n>0, and c is in GF(p)^*. We prove that gcd(m-n,p-1) is not 2 or 4. In the special case that either (p-1)/2 or (p-1)/4 is prime, this was conjectured in a…

In this note, we prove that for every integer $d\geq 2$ which is not a prime power, there exists a finite solvable group $G$ such that $d\mid |G|$, $\pi(G)=\pi(d)$ and $G$ has no subgroup of order $d$. We also introduce the CLT-degree of a…

Let $a$, $b$, $c$ be fixed coprime positive integers with $\min\{ a,b,c \} >1$. Let $N(a,b,c)$ denote the number of positive integer solutions $(x,y,z)$ of the equation $a^x + b^y = c^z$. We show that if $(a,b,c)$ is a triple of distinct…

Let $(a,b,c)$ be a primitive Pythagorean triple. Set $a=m^2-n^2$,$b=2mn$, and $c=m^2+n^2$ with $m$ and $n$ positive coprime integers, $m>n $ and $ m \not \equiv n \pmod 2$. A famous conjecture of Je\'{s}manowicz asserts that the only…

In this paper we prove that equations of the form $x^{13} + y^{13} = Cz^{p}$ have no non-trivial primitive solutions (a,b,c) such that $13 \nmid c$ if $p > 4992539$ for an infinite family of values for $C$. Our method consists in relating a…

We give a new proof that there are infinitely many primes, relying on van der Waerden's theorem for coloring the integers, and Fermat's theorem that there cannot be four squares in an arithmetic progression. We go on to discuss where else…

Given $k, \ell \in {\bf N}^+$, let $x_{i,j}$ be, for $1 \le i \le k$ and $0 \le j \le \ell$, some fixed integers, and define, for every $n \in {\bf N}^+$, $s_n := \sum_{i=1}^k \prod_{j=0}^\ell x_{i,j}^{n^j}$. We prove that the following are…
