A suggestion is put forward regarding a partial proof of FLT(case1), which is elegant and simple enough to have caused Fermat's enthusiastic remark in the margin of his Bachet edition of Diophantus' "Arithmetica". It is based on an…

We prove a conjecture that classifies exceptional numbers. This conjecture arises in two different ways, from cryptography and from coding theory. An odd integer $t\geq 3$ is said to be exceptional if $f(x)=x^t$ is APN (Almost Perfect…

Every finite non-abelian group of order $n$ has a non-central element whose centralizer has order exceeding $n^{1/3}$. The proof does not rely on the classification of finite simple groups, yet it uses the Feit-Thompson theorem.

We provide a way to modify and to extend a previously established inequality by P. Erd\H{o}s, R. Graham and others and to answer a conjecture posed in the nineties by R. Graham, which bears on the lack of divisibility of the central…

The existence of the meromorphic solutions to Fermat type delay-differential equation \begin{equation} f^n(z)+a(f^{(l)}(z+c))^m=p_1(z)e^{a_1z^k}+p_2(z)e^{a_2z^k}, \nonumber \end{equation} is derived by using Nevanlinna theory under certain…

It is shown that the quartic Fermat equation $x^4 +y^4=1$ has nontrivial integral solutions in the Hilbert class field $\Sigma$ of any quadratic field $K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-d})$ whose discriminant satisfies $-d \equiv 1$ (mod 8). A corollary…

In this paper, we consider the exponential Diophantine equation $a^{x}+b^{y}=c^{z},$ where $a, b, c$ be relatively prime positive integers such that $a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{r}, r\in Z^{+}, 2\mid r$ with $b$ even. That is $$a=\mid…

It is still open whether there exist infinitely many Fermat primes or infinitely many composite Fermat numbers. The same question concerning the Mersenne numbers is also unsolved. Extending some results from [9], we characterizethe the…

The Diophantine equation 4/n=1/x+1/y+1/z for a Pythagorean prime n is split into two independent Diophantine equations, which correspond to two different types of solution. The solvability of these equations forces certain restrictions on…

Let $\alpha,\beta,\gamma\in\mathbb{N}$. We prove that given an $r$-colouring of $\mathbb{F}_p$ with $p$ prime, there are more than $c_{r,\alpha,\beta,\gamma} p^2$ solutions to the equation $x^\alpha+y^\beta=z^\gamma$ with all of $x,y,z$ of…
