We consider and completely solve the parametrized family of Thue equations \begin{eqnarray*}X(X-Y)(X+Y)(X-\lambda Y)+Y^4=\xi,\end{eqnarray*} where the solutions $x,y$ come from the ring $\mathbb{C}[T]$, the parameter…
E. Thomas was one of the first to solve an infinite family of Thue equations, when he considered the forms $F_n(X, Y )= X^3 -(n-1)X^2Y -(n+2)XY^2 -Y^3$ and the family of equations $F_n(X, Y )=\pm 1$, $n\in {\mathbf N}$. This family is…
The families of simplest cubic, simplest quartic and simplest sextic fields and the related Thue equations are well known. The family of simplest cubic Thue equations was already studied in the relative case, over imaginary quadratic…
In this paper we completely solve the family of parametrised Thue equations \[ X(X-F_n Y)(X-2^n Y)-Y^3=\pm 1, \] where $F_n$ is the $n$-th Fibonacci number. In particular, for any integer $n\geq 3$ the Thue equation has only the trivial…
We exactly determine the integral solutions to a previously untreated infinite family of cubic Thue equations of the form $F(x,y)=1$ with at least $5$ such solutions. Our approach combines elementary arguments, with lower bounds for linear…
We consider the parametric family of sextic Thue equations \[ x^6-2mx^5y-5(m+3)x^4y^2-20x^3y^3+5mx^2y^4+2(m+3)xy^5+y^6=\lambda \] where $m\in\mathbb{Z}$ is an integer and $\lambda$ is a divisor of $27(m^2+3m+9)$. We show that the only…
Let $F_n$ denote the $n$-th Fibonacci number and $L_n$ the $n$-th Lucas number. We completely solve the family of cubic Thue equations $${(X-F_nY)(X-L_nY)X-Y^3=\pm1}$$ and show that there are no non-trivial solutions for $n\neq 1,3$.
In this paper, we use the method of Thue and Siegel, based on explicit Pade approximations to algebraic functions, to completely solve a family of quartic Thue equations. From this result, we can also solve the diophantine equation in the…
Let $(A_n)_{n\in \mathbb{N}}, (B_n)_{n\in \mathbb{N}} \in \mathbb{Z}^{\mathbb{N}}$ be two linear-recurrent sequences that meet a dominant root condition and a few more technical requirements. We show that the split family of Thue equations…
Let $t$ be any imaginary quadratic integer with $|t|\geq 100$. We prove that the inequality \[ |F_t(X,Y)| = | X^4 - t X^3 Y - 6 X^2 Y^2 + t X Y^3 + Y^4 | \leq 1 \] has only trivial solutions $(x,y)$ in integers of the same imaginary…
To each non totally real cubic extension $K$ of $\Q$ and to each generator $\alpha$ of the cubic field $K$, we attach a family of cubic Thue equations, indexed by the units of $K$, and we prove that this family of cubic Thue equations has…
It is a classical problem in algebraic number theory to decide if a number field admits power integral bases and further to calculate all generators of power integral bases. This problem is especially delicate to consider in an infinite…
In this semi-expository article we solve the diophantine equation $m^5+(4 \cdot 5^4 b^4)mn^4 - n^5=1$ for all integers $b \neq 0$. This gives an example of a family of quintic Thue equations that can be solved completely by using nothing…
We revisit a work by R. Okazaki and prove that for every cubic binary form F(x, y) with large enough discriminant, the Thue equation |F(x, y)| = 1 has at most 7 solutions in integers x and y.
We obtain a polynomial type upper bound for the size of the integral solutions of Thue equations $F(X,Y) = b$ defined over a totally real number field $K$, assuming that $F(X,1)$ has a root $\alpha$ such that $K(\alpha)$ is a CM-field.…
