In this note, we find all the solutions of the Diophantine equation x^2 +2^a.3^b.11^c=y^n in nonnegative integers a, b, c, x, y, n>= 3 with x and y coprime.
An effective upper bound is established for the least non-trivial integer solution to the system of cubic forms \[ \begin{cases} F = c_{1}x_1^3 + c_{2}x_2^3 + \cdots + c_{n}x_n^3 = 0, \\ G = d_{1}x_1^3 + d_{2}x_2^3 + \cdots + d_{n}x_n^3 =…
We classify integer abc-equations c = a + b (to be defined), according to their radical R(abc) and prove that the resulting equivalence classes contain only a finite number of such equations. The proof depends on a 1933 theorem of Kurt…
We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a Fibonacci cycle to be residue complete (nondefective). In particular, the Lucas numbers modulo m is residue complete if and only if m = 2,4,6,7,14 or a power of 3.
We show that any homogeneous polynomial solution of |\nabla F(x)|^2=m^2|x|^(2m-2), m>1, is either a radially symmetric polynomial F(x)=\pm |x|^m (for even m's) or it is a composition of a Chebychev polynomial and a Cartan-M\"unzner…
In this paper, we find all integers $c$ having at least two representations as a difference between a Fibonacci number and a Tribonacci number.
A subset of $\mathbb{F}_q^2$ is called an arc if it does not contain three collinear points. We show that there are at most $\binom{(1 + o(1))q}{m}$ arcs of size $m \gg q^{1/2} (\log q)^{3/2}$, nearly matching a trivial lower bound…
The sequence of partial sums of Fibonacci numbers, beginning with $2$, $4$, $7$, $12$, $20$, $33,\dots$, has several combinatorial interpretations (OEIS A000071). For instance, the $n$-th term in this sequence is the number of length-$n$…
In this paper, we introduce the concept of $F$-perfect number, which is a positive integer $n$ such that $\sum_{d|n,d<n}d^2=3n$. We prove that all the $F$-perfect numbers are of the form $n=F_{2k-1}F_{2k+1}$, where both $F_{2k-1}$ and…
We prove that for given integers b and c, the diophantine equation x^2+bx+c=y^2, has finitely many integer solutions(i.e. pairs in ZxZ),in fact an even number of such solutions(including the zero or no solutions case).We also offer an…
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…
Let $F_n$ denote the $n^{th}$ term of the Fibonacci sequence. In this paper, we investigate the Diophantine equation $F_1^p+2F_2^p+\cdots+kF_{k}^p=F_{n}^q$ in the positive integers $k$ and $n$, where $p$ and $q$ are given positive integers.…
On a closed Riemannian manifold $(M^n ,g)$ with a proper isoparametric function $f$ we consider the equation $\Delta^2 u -\alpha \Delta u +\beta u = u^q$, where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are positive constants satisfying that $\alpha^2 \geq 4…
We consider two families of Pascal-like triangles that have all ones on the left side and ones separated by $m-1$ zeros on the right side. The $m=1$ cases are Pascal's triangle and the two families also coincide when $m=2$. Members of the…
The link between the equation $b(b+a)-a^2=0$ concerning the side $b$ and the diagonal $a$ of a regular pentagon and the {\it Cassini identity} $F_{i}F_{i+2}-F_{i+1}^2=(-1)^{i}$, concerning three consecutive Fibonacci numbers, is very…
As a well-known enumerative problem, the number of solutions of the equation $m=m_1+...+m_k$ with $m_1\leqslant...\leqslant m_k$ in positive integers is $\Pi(m,k)=\sum_{i=0}^k\Pi(m-k,i)$ and $\Pi$ is called the additive partition function.…
We study the solutions of a Diophantine equation of the form $a^x+b^y=c^z$, where $a\equiv 2 \pmod 4$, $b\equiv 3 \pmod 4$ and $\gcd (a,b,c)=1$. The main result is that if there exists a solution $(x,y,z)=(2,2,r)$ with $r>1$ odd then this…
For positive integers $a_1,a_2,...,a_m$, we determine the least positive integer $R(a_1,...,a_m)$ such that for every 2-coloring of the set $[1,n]={1,...,n}$ with $n\ge R(a_1,...,a_m)$ there exists a monochromatic solution to the equation…
Let $m\in\mathbb{Z}$ be an integer and $L_m=\mathbb{Q}(\alpha)$ be the simplest cubic field with class number $h_m$ and conductor $\mathfrak{f}_m$ where $\alpha$ is a root of $f_m(X)=X^3-mX^2-(m+3)X-1$. Let $\mathcal{O}_{L_m}$ be the ring…
In this paper, we study partitions of totally positive integral elements $\alpha$ in a real quadratic field $K$. We prove that for a fixed integer $m \geq 1$, an element with $m$ partition exists in almost all $K$. We also obtain an upper…
