Recently, the authors showed that for every irrational number $\alpha$, there exist infinitely many positive integers $n$ represented by any given positive definite binary quadratic form $Q$, satisfying $||\alpha n||<n^{-(1/2-\varepsilon)}$…
In this paper, we consider the Diophantine equation $\lambda_1U_{n_1}+\ldots+\lambda_kU_{n_k}=wp_1^{z_1} \cdots p_s^{z_s},$ where $\{U_n\}_{n\geq 0}$ is a fixed non-degenerate linear recurrence sequence of order greater than or equal to 2;…
This paper is concerned with the study of diagonal Diophantine inequalities of fractional degree $ \theta ,$ where $ \theta >2$ is real and non-integral. For fixed non-zero real numbers $ \lambda_i $ not all of the same sign we write…
Let $n$ be a positive integer. The Diophantine equation $n(x_1+x_2+\dots +x_n)=x_1x_2\dots x_n$, $1 \le x_1\le x_2\le \dots \le x_n$ is called Erd\H{o}s's last equation. We prove that $x_n\to \infty $ as $n\to \infty$ and determine all…
The Monotone Upper Bound Problem asks for the maximal number M(d,n) of vertices on a strictly-increasing edge-path on a simple d-polytope with n facets. More specifically, it asks whether the upper bound M(d,n)<=M_{ubt}(d,n) provided by…
Given any irrational number $\alpha$, we show that for any $0<\theta<6/17$, there are infinitely many $y$-smooth (friable) numbers $n$ such that $$\|n\alpha\| < n^{-\theta},$$ where $(\log n)^C\leq y\leq n$ for some large constant $C>0$.…
Let $\mathrm{d}(A)$ be the asymptotic density (if it exists) of a sequence of integers $A$. For any real numbers $0\leq\alpha\leq\beta\leq 1$, we solve the question of the existence of a sequence $A$ of positive integers such that…
Let $S := \{p_1,\ldots ,p_{\ell}\}$ be a finite set of primes and denote by $\mathcal{U}_S$ the set of all rational integers whose prime factors are all in $S$. Let $(U_n)_{n\geq 0}$ be a non-degenerate linear recurrence sequence with order…
In this paper we develop the convergence theory of simultaneous, inhomogeneous Diophantine approximation on manifolds. A consequence of our main result is that if the manifold $M \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is of dimension strictly greater than…
Let $S$ denote a set of primes and let $a_1,\ldots,a_m$ be positive distinct integers. We call the $m$-tuple $(a_1,\ldots,a_m)$ an $S$-Diophantine tuple if $a_ia_j+1=s_{i,j}$ are $S$-integers for all $i\not=j$. In this paper, we show that…
Let $La(n,P)$ be the maximum size of a family of subsets of $[n]=\{1,2,...,n\}$ not containing $P$ as a (weak) subposet. The diamond poset, denoted $B_{2}$, is defined on four elements $x,y,z,w$ with the relations $x<y,z$ and $y,z<w$.…
Given a negative $D>-(\log X)^{\log 2-\delta}$, we give a new upper bound on the number of square free integers $<X$ which are represented by some but not all forms of the genus of a primitive positive definite binary quadratic form $f$ of…
We consider Diophantine quintuples $\{a, b, c, d, e\}$, sets of distinct positive integers the product of any two elements of which is one less than a perfect square. Triples of the first kind are the subsets $\{a, b, d\}$ with $d> b^{5}$.…
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 $\gcd(n,d)=1.$
Fix an irrational number $\theta$. For a real number $\tau >0$, consider the numbers $y$ satisfying that for all large number $Q$, there exists an integer $1\leq n\leq Q$, such that $\|n\theta-y\|<Q^{-\tau}$, where $\|\cdot\|$ is the…
We say that a set is a multiplicative 3-Sidon set if the equation $s_1s_2s_3=t_1t_2t_3$ does not have a solution consisting of distinct elements taken from this set. In this paper we show that the size of a multiplicative 3-Sidon subset of…
In this note, we study the set $\mathcal{D}$ of values of the quadruplet $(\underline{\mathrm{d}}(A),\overline{\mathrm{d}}(A),\underline{\mathrm{d}}(2A),\overline{\mathrm{d}}(2A))$ where $A\subset\mathbb{N}$ and…
We provide a lower bound for the ratio between the ordinary and uniform exponent of both simultaneous Diophantine approximation and Diophantine approximation by linear forms in any dimension. This lower bound was conjectured by Schmidt and…
For a fixed integer n, a pair of nonzero integers {a, c} is called a D(n)-pair if the product ac plus n is a perfect square. In this short note we prove that D(n)-pairs are asymptotically equidistributed (via their associated quadratic…
Let us denote by $F_n$ the $n$-th Fibonacci number. In this paper we show that for a fixed integer $y$ there exists at most one integer exponent $a>0$ such that the Diophantine equation $F_n+F_m=y^a$ has a solution $(n,m,a)$ in positive…
