Consider the diophantine equation $(3^{x_1}-1)(3^{x_2}-1)=(5^{y_1}-1)(5^{y_2}-1)$ in positive integers $x_1\le x_2$, and $y_1\le y_2$. Each side of the equation is a product of two terms of a given binary recurrence, respectively. In this…

Let $(F_n)_{n\geq 0}$ be the Fibonacci sequence given by $F_0 = 0, F_1 = 1$ and $F_{n+2} = F_{n+1}+F_n$ for $n \geq 0$. In this paper, we have determined all the powers of 2 which are sums of five Fibonacci numbers with few exceptions that…

In this paper, we deal with Diophantine equations $N = {F_k}^3 + {F_\ell }^3 = {F_m}^3 + {F_n}^3$ and $M = {L_k}^3 + {L_\ell }^3 = {L_m}^3 + {L_n}^3$. In other words, we discover the Fibonacci and Lucas numbers that are also Hardy-Ramanujan…

In this paper we consider the Diophantine equation $ V_n - b^m = c $ for given integers $ b,c $ with $ b \geq 2 $, whereas $ V_n $ varies among Lucas-Lehmer sequences of the second kind. We prove under some technical conditions that if the…

The sufficient conditions for solvability of a linear Diophantine equation $\sum_{i=1}^{n}a_ix_i=b$ (with $a_1,a_2,...,a_n\in \mathbb{N}$) in non-negative integers $x_1,x_2,...,x_n$ are given. The explicit formulas are given for Frobenius…

Given two relatively prime numbers $a$ and $b$, it is known that exactly one of the two Diophantine equations has a nonnegative integral solution $(x,y)$: $$ ax + by \ =\ \frac{(a-1)(b-1)}{2}\quad \mbox{ and }\quad 1 + ax + by \ =\…

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 $n\neq 1,3$.

Let $A$, $B$ be fixed positive integers such that $\min\{A,B\} > 1$, $\gcd(A,B) = 1$ and $AB \equiv 0 \bmod 2$, and let $n$ be a positive integer with $n>1$. In this paper, using a deep result on the existence of primitive divisors of Lucas…

In this paper, we consider the equation $(a^n-2^{m})(b^n-2^{m})=x^2$. By assuming the abc conjecture is true, in [8], Luca and Walsh gave a theorem, which implies that the above equation has only finitely many solutions $n,x$ if a and b are…

The objective of the paper is to determine the complete solutions for the Diophantine equation $x^2 + 3^{\alpha}113^{\beta} = y^{\mathfrak{n}}$ in positive integers $x$ and $y$ (where $x, y \geq 1$), non-negative exponents $\alpha$ and…

In this work, we accomplish three goals. First, we determine the entire family of positive integer solutions to the three- variable Diophantine equation, xy=z^2; for n=2,3,4,5,6. For n=2, we obtain a 3-parameter family of solutions; for…

We are motivated by a result of Alzer and Luca who presented all the integer solutions to the relations $(k!)^n-k^n=(n!)^k-n^k$ and $(k!)^n+k^n=(n!)^k+n^k$. We modify the equations by considering the double factorial instead and present all…
