It is conjectured that for any fixed relatively prime positive integers $a,b$ and $c$ all greater than 1 there is at most one solution to the equation $a^x+b^y=c^z$ in positive integers $x,y$ and $z$, except for specific cases. We develop…

The Erd\"{o}s-Straus conjecture states that the equation $\frac{4}{n}=\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{z}$ has positive integer solutions $x, y, z$ for every postive integers $n\ge 2$. We generalize the Erd\"{o}s-Straus equation, state…

Using as the working hypothesis of an evaluation of the difference between primes $p_{n+1} - p_n = O(\sqrt{p_n})$ we represent in detail the proofs of Legendre's and Oppermann's conjectures.

In this paper we show that, for any fixed $1<c<967/805$, every sufficiently large positive number $N$ and a small constant $\varepsilon>0$, the diophantine inequality \begin{equation*} |p_1^c+p_2^c+p_3^c+p_4^c-N|<\varepsilon \end{equation*}…

Let $1<c<37/18,\,c\neq2$ and $N$ be a sufficiently large real number. In this paper, we prove that, for almost all $R\in(N,2N],$ the Diophantine inequality $|p_1^c+p_2^c+p_3^c-R|<\log^{-1}N$ is solvable in primes $p_1,\,p_2,\,p_3.$…

In this paper, we gave solutions of the Diophantine equations 16^{x}+p^{y}=z^{2}, 64^{x}+p^{y}=z^{2} where p is an odd prime, n is a positive integer and x,y,z are non-negative integers. Finally we gave a generalization of the Diophantine…

Let $a, b\in \mathbb{N}$ be relatively prime. Previous work showed that exactly one of the two equations $ax + by = (a-1)(b-1)/2$ and $ax + by + 1 = (a-1)(b-1)/2$ has a nonnegative, integral solution; furthermore, the solution is unique.…

Let $a$, $b$, $c$ be fixed coprime positive integers with $\min\{ a,b,c \} >1$. Let $N(a,b,c)$ denote the number of positive integer solutions $(x,y,z)$ of the equation $a^x + b^y = c^z$. We show that if $(a,b,c)$ is a triple of distinct…

We consider the Diophantine equation $7x^{2} + y^{2n} = 4z^{3}$. We determine all solutions to this equation for $n = 2, 3, 4$ and $5$. We formulate a Kraus type criterion for showing that the Diophantine equation $7x^{2} + y^{2p} = 4z^{3}$…

Every odd prime number p can be written in exactly (p + 1)/2 ways as a sum ab+cd of two ordered products ab and cd such that min(a, b) > max(c, d). An easy corollary is a proof of Fermat's Theorem expressing primes in 1 + 4N as sums of two…
