A Piatetski-Shapiro sequence with exponent $\alpha$ is a sequence of integer parts of $n^\alpha$ $(n = 1,2,\ldots)$ with a non-integral $\alpha > 0$. We let $\mathrm{PS}(\alpha)$ denote the set of those terms. In this article, we study the…

Denote by $\text{PS}(\alpha)$ the image of the Piatetski-Shapiro sequence $n \mapsto \lfloor n^{\alpha} \rfloor$ where $\alpha > 1$ is non-integral and $\lfloor x \rfloor$ is the integer part of $x \in \mathbb{R}$. We partially answer the…

For every non-integral $\alpha>1$, the sequence of the integer parts of $n^{\alpha}$ $(n=1,2,\ldots)$ is called the Piatetski-Shapiro sequence with exponent $\alpha$, and let $\mathrm{PS}(\alpha)$ denote the set of all those terms. For all…

Our main result concerns a perturbation of a classic theorem of Khintchine in Diophantine approximation. We give sufficient conditions on a sequence of positive real numbers $(\psi_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ and differentiable functions…

By using the work of Frantzikinakis and Wierdl, we can see that for all $d\in\mathbb{N}$, $\alpha\in(d,d+1)$, and integers $k\ge d+2$ and $r\ge1$, there exist infinitely many $n\in\mathbb{N}$ such that the sequence…

The Piatetski-Shapiro sequences are of the form $\mathcal{N}_{c} := (\lfloor n^{c} \rfloor)_{n=1}^\infty$, where $\lfloor \cdot \rfloor$ is the integer part. It is expected that there are infinitely many primes in a Piatetski-Shapiro…

We conjecture that if a system S \subseteq {x_i=1, x_i+x_j=x_k, x_i \cdot x_j=x_k: i,j,k \in {1,...,n}} has only finitely many solutions in integers x_1,...,x_n, then each such solution (x_1,...,x_n) satisfies |x_1|,...,|x_n| \leq…

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…

In 1876 Brocard, and independently in 1913 Ramanujan, asked to find all integer solutions for the equation $n!=x^2-1$. It is conjectured that this equation has only three solutions, but up to now this is an open problem. Overholt observed…

Let $A\subset \N_{+}$ and by $P_{A}(n)$ denotes the number of partitions of an integer $n$ into parts from the set $A$. The aim of this paper is to prove several result concerning the existence of integer solutions of Diophantine equations…

An important unsolved problem in Diophantine number theory is to establish a general method to effectively find all solutions to any given $S$-unit equation with at least four terms. Although there are many works contributing to this…

The study of finiteness or infiniteness of integer solutions of a Diophantine equation has been considered as a standard problem in the literature. In this paper, for f(x) in Z[x] monic and q1 ,...., qm in Z, we study the conditions for…

Let $n$ be a non-negative integer and put $p_{n}(x)=\prod_{i=0}^{n}(x+i)$. In the first part of the paper, for given $n$, we study the existence of integer solutions of the Diophantine equation $$ y^m=p_{n}(x)+\sum_{i=1}^{k}p_{a_{i}}(x), $$…

Let $\alpha,\beta$ be real numbers such that $\alpha>1$ is irrational and of finite type, and let $c$ be a real number in the range $1<c<\frac{14}{13}$. In this paper, it is shown that there are infinitely many Piatetski-Shapiro primes $p =…

Erd\"os and Obl\'ath proved that the equation $n!\pm m!=x^p$ has only finitely many integer solutions. More general, under the ABC-conjecture, Luca showed that $P(x)=An!+Bm!$ has finitely many integer solutions for polynomials of degree…

We establish discorrelation estimates between the Piatetski-Shapiro prime set \[ \mathcal{P}_{\gamma} := \{p \text{ is prime and } p = \lfloor n^{1/\gamma} \rfloor \text{ for some } n \in \mathbb{N}\} \] and arbitrary nilsequences when…

Generalizing an argument of Matiyasevich, we illustrate a method to generate infinitely many diophantine equations whose solutions can be completely described by linear recurrences. In particular, we provide an integer-coefficient…

We give bounds on the number of solutions to the Diophantine equation (X+1/x)(Y+1/y) = n as n tends to infinity. These bounds are related to the number of solutions to congruences of the form ax+by = 1 modulo xy.

Suppose that $\alpha,\beta\in\mathbb{R}$. Let $\alpha\geqslant1$ and $c$ be a real number in the range $1<c< 12/11$. In this paper, it is proved that there exist infinitely many primes in the generalized Piatetski--Shapiro sequence, which…

Let E_n={x_i=1, x_i+x_j=x_k, x_i \cdot x_j=x_k: i,j,k \in {1,...,n}}. If Matiyasevich's conjecture on finite-fold Diophantine representations is true, then for every computable function f:N->N there is a positive integer m(f) such that for…
