For positive integers m and r, one can easily show there exist integers N such that for every map D:{1,2,...,N} -> {1,2,...,r} there exist 2m integers x_1 < ... < x_m < y_1 < ... < y_m which satisfy: (a) D(x_1) = ... = D(x_m), (b) D(y_1) =…

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 an integer $k\geq 2$, let $(L_{n}^{(k)})_{n}$ be the $k-$generalized Lucas sequence which starts with $0,\ldots,0,2,1$ ($k$ terms) and each term afterwards is the sum of the $k$ preceding terms. In this paper, we find all the integers…

The title equation, where $p>3$ is a prime number $\not\equiv 7 \pmod 8$, $q$ is an odd prime number and $x,y,n$ are positive integers with $x,y$ relatively prime, is studied. When $p\equiv 3\pmod 8$, we prove (Theorem 2.3) that there are…

This paper concerns the existence of normalized solutions to a class of $(2,q)$-Laplacian equations in all the possible cases according to the value of $p$ with respect to the critical exponent $2(1+2/N)$. In the $L^2$-subcritical case, we…

Consider the polynomial $f(x,y)=xy^k+C$ for $k\geq 2$ and any nonzero integer constant $C$. We derive an asymptotic formula for the $k$-free values of $f(x,y)$ when $x, y\leq H$. We also prove a similar result for the $k$-free values of…

We establish two general identities for Bernoulli and Euler polynomials, which are of a new type and have many consequences. The most striking result in this paper is as follows: If $n$ is a positive integer, $r+s+t=n$ and $x+y+z=1$, then…

In this paper, we consider some hybrid Diophantine equations of addition and multiplication. We first improve a result on new Hilbert-Waring problem. Then we consider the equation \begin{equation} \begin{cases} A+B=C ABC=D^n \end{cases}…

In this paper we consider the Diophantine equation \begin{align*}b^k +\left(a+b\right)^k &+ \cdots + \left(a\left(x-1\right) + b\right)^k=\\ &=d^l + \left(c+d\right)^l + \cdots + \left(c\left(y-1\right) + d\right)^l, \end{align*} where…

When $k\ge 4$ and $0\le d\le (k-2)/4$, we consider the system of Diophantine equations \[ x_1^j+\ldots +x_k^j=y_1^j+\ldots +y_k^j\quad (1\le j\le k,\, j\ne k-d). \] We show that in this cousin of a Vinogradov system, there is a paucity of…

In this paper, we gave solutions of the Diophantine equations 16^{x}+p^{y}=z^{2}, 64^{x}+p^{y}=z^{2} where p is an odd prime, n is a positive integer and x,y,z are non-negative integers. Finally we gave a generalization of the Diophantine…

In 1956, Je$\acute{s}$manowicz conjectured that, for positive integers $m$ and $n$ with $m>n, \, \gcd(m,\, n)=1$ and $m\not\equiv n\pmod{2}$, the exponential Diophantine equation $(m^2-n^2)^x+(2mn)^y=(m^2+n^2)^z$ has only the positive…

It is proven that the only integer solutions $(a,b)$ such that $a+b$ and $ab$ are palindromic are $(2,5\cdot 10^k-3)$, $(3,24)$ and $(9,9)$, and in a similar fashion, $b-a$ and $ab$ are only palindromic at $(a,b)=(3,147\cdot…

The subject matter of this work are the two equations: x^4+y^4+z^4-2(x^2)(y^2)-2(y^2)(z^2)-2(z^2)(x^2)= n (1) And x^2+y^4+z^4-2x(y^2)-2x(z^2)-2(y^4)(z^4)= n (2) where n is a natural number. Contest Corner problem CC24, published in the…

We study the solutions of the Rosenberg--Markoff equation ax^2+by^2+cz^2 = dxyz (a generalization of the well--known Markoff equation). We specifically focus on looking for solutions in arithmetic progression that lie in the ring of…

Let $A$, $B$ be fixed positive integers such that $\min\{A,B\} > 1$, $\gcd(A,B) = 1$ and $AB \equiv 0 \bmod 2$, and let $n$ be a positive integer with $n>1$. In this paper, using a deep result on the existence of primitive divisors of Lucas…

This paper contributes to the conjecture of R. Scott and R. Styer which asserts that for any fixed relatively prime positive integers $a,b$ and $c$ all greater than 1 there is at most one solution to the equation $a^x+b^y=c^z$ in positive…
