Let $a,b,c,d,e$ and $f$ be integers with $a\ge c\ge e>0$, $b>-a$ and $b\equiv a\pmod2$, $d>-c$ and $d\equiv c\pmod 2$, $f>-e$ and $f\equiv e\pmod2$. Suppose that $b\ge d$ if $a=c$, and $d\ge f$ if $c=e$. When $b(a-b)$, $d(c-d)$ and $f(e-f)$…
The method of generating Pythagorean triples is known for about 2000 years. Though the classical formulas produce all primitive triples they do not generate all possible triples, especially non-primitive triples. This paper presents a…
The solution to the problem of finding the minimum number of monochromatic triples $(x,y,x+ay)$ with $a\geq 2$ being a fixed positive integer over any 2-coloring of $[1,n]$ was conjectured by Butler, Costello, and Graham (2010) and…
In 1987, Orrin Frink introduced the concept of almost Pythagorean triples. He defined them as an ordered triple $(x,y,z)$ that satisfies the equation $x^2+y^2=z^2+1$ where $x,y$ and $z$ are positive integers. In his paper, he showed that…
The abc conjecture, one of the most famous open problems in number theory, claims that three positive integers satisfying a+b=c cannot simultaneously have significant repetition among their prime factors; in particular, the product of the…
In this paper we first investigate for what positive integers $a,b,c$ every nonnegative integer $n$ can be represented as $x(ax+1)+y(by+1)+z(cz+1)$ with $x,y,z$ integers. We show that $(a,b,c)$ can be either of the following seven triples:…
Conformal transformations of a Euclidean (complex) plane have some kind of completeness (sufficiency) for the solution of many mathematical and physical-mathematical problems formulated on this plane. There is no such completeness in the…
We consider the Markoff-Rosenberger equation $$ax^2+by^2+cz^2=dxyz$$ with $(x,y,z)=(U_i,U_j,U_k),$ where $U_i$ denotes the $i$-th generalized Lucas number of first/second kind. We provide upper bound for the minimum of the indices and we…
A generalization of the term "generalized Clifford algebras" (as appears in papers on advances in applied Clifford algebras) is introduced. This algebra is studied by means of structure theory of central simple algebras. A graph theoretical…
We investigate generalized quadratic forms with values in the set of rational integers over quadratic fields. We characterize the real quadratic fields which admit a positive definite binary generalized form of this type representing every…
For a natural number $m$, generalized $m$-gonal numbers are those numbers of the form $p_m(x)=\frac{(m-2)x^2-(m-4)x}{2}$ with $x\in \mathbb Z$. In this paper we establish conditions on $m$ for which the ternary sum $p_m(x)+p_m(y)+p_m(z)$ is…
Generalized numberings are an extension of Ershov's notion of numbering, based on partial combinatory algebra (pca) instead of the natural numbers. We study various algebraic properties of generalized numberings, relating properties of the…
The general formulas for finding the quantity of all primitive and nonprimitive triples generated by the given number x have been proposed. Also the formulas for finding the complete quantity of the representations of the integers as a…
To represent positive integers by regular patterns on a plane or in three-dimensional space may be traced back to the Pythagoreans. The aim of the present article is to explore the possibility of extending the representation framework for…
Let $1<a<b$ be two relatively prime integers and $\mathbb{Z}_{\ge 0}$ the set of non-negative integers. For any non-negative integer $\ell$, denote by $g_{\ell,a,b}$ the largest integer $n$ such that the equation $$n=ax+by,\quad…
In this paper, we initiate a systematic study of entanglements of division fields from a group theoretic perspective. For a positive integer $n$ and a subgroup $G\subseteq \text{GL}_2(\mathbb{Z}/{n}\mathbb{Z})$ with surjective determinant,…
Siegel proved that every totally positive element of a number field K is the sum of four squares, so in particular the Pythagoras number is uniformly bounded across number fields. The p-adic Kochen operator provides a p-adic analogue of…
In this paper, we will define general Eulerian numbers and Eulerian polynomials based on general arithmetic progressions. Under the new definitions, we have been successful in extending several well-known properties of traditional Eulerian…
The notion of $\theta$-congruent numbers generalizes the classical congruent number problem. Recall that a positive integer $n$ is $\theta$-congruent if it is the area of a rational triangle with an angle $\theta$ whose cosine is rational.…
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. In this…
