Related to Shank's notion of simplest cubic fields, the family of parametrised Diophantine equations, \[ x^3 - (n-1) x^2 y - (n+2) xy^2 - 1 = \left( x - \lambda_0 y\right) \left(x-\lambda_1 y\right) \left(x - \lambda_2 y\right) = \pm 1, \]…
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…
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 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…
We study the field isomorphism problem of cubic generic polynomial $X^3+sX+s$ over the field of rational numbers with the specialization of the parameter $s$ to nonzero rational integers $m$ via primitive solutions to the family of cubic…
We consider a parametrised family of Thue equations, \[ (x-G_1(n)\, y) \cdots (x-G_d(n)\, y) - y^d = \pm 1, \] which was first considered by Thomas to have an explicit set of solutions for parameters $n$ larger than some effectively…
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 $F(X,Y)=\sum\limits_{i=0}^sa_iX^{r_i}Y^{r-r_i}\in\mathbb{Z}[X,Y]$ be a form of degree $r=r_s\geq 3$, irreducible over $\mathbb{Q}$ and having at most $s+1$ non-zero coefficients. Mueller and Schmidt showed that the number of solutions…
In this paper, we prove that a Thue equation F(x,y) = h, where h is an integer and F is a polynomial of degree n with integer coefficients and without repeated roots, has at most 2n^3 - 2n - 3 solutions provided that the Mordell-Weil rank…
In this paper, we study the number of integer pair solutions to the equation $|F(x,y)| = 1$ where $F(x,y) \in \mathbb{Z}[x,y]$ is an irreducible (over $\mathbb{Z}$) binary form with degree $n \geqslant 3$ and exactly three nonzero summands.…
Let $F(x,y)$ be an irreducible form of degree $r\geq 3$ and having $s+1$ non-zero coefficients. Let $h\geq 1$ be an integer and consider the Thue inequality $$|F(x,y)|\leq h.$$ Following the seminal work of Thue in 1909, several papers were…
Let X and Y be two nxn Hermitian matrices. In the article "Proof of a conjectured exponential formula" (Linear and Multilinear Algebra (19) 1986, 187-197) R. C. Thompson proved that there exist two nxn unitary matrices U and V such that $$…
We solve the Diophantine equation $Y^2=X^3+k$ for all nonzero integers $k$ with $|k| \leq 10^7$. Our approach uses a classical connection between these equations and cubic Thue equations. The latter can be treated algorithmically via lower…
In 2000, Vu proved that the number of solutions of $x_1^k + \cdots + x_s^k = N$ in an arbitrary box satisfies the expected Hardy--Littlewood upper bound with a power-saving error term, for $s \geq O(8^k k^3)$. We show that one may take…
We find all solutions to the parametrized family of norm-form equations $x^3-(t^3-1)y^3+3(t^3-1)xy+(t^3-1)^2 = \pm 1$ studied by Amoroso, Masser and Zannier. Our proof relies upon an appeal to lower bounds for linear forms in logarithms and…
Let $F_n$ denote the $n$-th Fibonacci number and $L_n$ the $n$-th Lucas number. We completely solve the family of cubic Thue equations $${(X-F_nY)(X-L_nY)X-Y^3=\pm1}$$ and show that there are no non-trivial solutions for $n\neq 1,3$.
