Generalised Fermat equation (GFE) is the equation of the form $ax^p+by^q=cz^r$, where $a,b,c,p,q,r$ are positive integers. If $1/p+1/q+1/r<1$, GFE is known to have at most finitely many primitive integer solutions $(x,y,z)$. A large body of…
We determine the set of primitive integral solutions to the generalised Fermat equation x^2 + y^3 = z^15. As expected, the only solutions are the trivial ones with xyz = 0 and the non-trivial pair (x,y,z) = (+-3, -2, 1).
We consider the generalized Fermat equation (*) $x^2 + y^3 = z^{25}$. Using the known parameterization of the primitive integral solutions to $x^2 + y^3 = z^5$ (due to Edwards), we reduce the solution of (*) to the solution of five specific…
We classify primitive integer solutions to x^2 + y^3 = z^10. The technique is to combine modular methods at the prime 5, number field enumeration techniques in place of modular methods at the prime 2, Chabauty techniques for elliptic curves…
A nonempty subset A of {1,2,...,n} is called primitive if gcd(A)=1. Let f(n) and f_k(n) denote, respectively, the number of primitive subsets and the number of primitive subsets of cardinality k of {1,2,...,n}. Recursion formulas and…
[This is an older version of the paper, which will be updated soon.] In the present paper, we continue our research on the generalized Fermat equation $x^r + y^s = z^t$ with signature $(r, s, t)$, where $r, s, t \ge 2$ are positive integers…
Within the scope of elementary number theory, we prove that, as the main result, if $1 \leq x < y < z$ are integers such that at least one of $y, z, x+y$ is prime then $x^{n}+y^{n} \neq z^{n}$ for every odd integer $n \geq 3$. This result…
We study the Generalized Fermat Equation $x^2 + y^3 = z^p$, to be solved in coprime integers, where $p \ge 7$ is prime. Using modularity and level lowering techniques, the problem can be reduced to the determination of the sets of rational…
In this article we study solutions to the generalized Fermat equation $x^q+y^p+z^r=0 $ using hypergeometric motives within the framework of the modular method. In doing so, we give an explicit description of the ramification behavior at…
Let $n \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 2}$. We study the generalized Fermat equation \[x^{13}+y^{13}=z^n, \quad x,y,z \in \mathbb{Z}, \quad \gcd(x,y,z)=1.\] Using a combination of techniques, including the modular method, classical descent, unit…
In this paper, we consider some hybrid Diophantine equations of addition and multiplication. We first improve a result on new Hilbert-Waring problem. Then we consider the equation \begin{equation} \begin{cases} A+B=C ABC=D^n \end{cases}…
In this paper we prove new cases of the asymptotic Fermat equation with coefficients. This is done by solving remarkable $S$-units equations and applying a method of Frey-Mazur.
Following a method originally due to Siegel, we establish upper bounds for the number of primitive integer solutions to inequalities of the shape $0<|F(x, y)| \leq h$, where $F(x , y) =(\alpha x + \beta y)^r -(\gamma x + \delta y)^r \in…
In this paper, we determine the primitive solutions of the Diophantine equation $(x-d)^2+x^2+(x+d)^2=y^n$ when $n\geq 2$ and $d=p^b$, $p$ a prime and $p\leq 10^4$. The main ingredients are the characterization of primitive divisors on…
We determine the rational integers x,y,z such that x^3+y^9=z^2 and gcd(x,y,z)=1. First we determine a finite set of curves of genus 10 such that any primitive solution to x^3+y^9=z^2 corresponds to a rational point on one of those curves.…
This paper studies integer solutions to the Diophantine equation A+B=C in which none of A, B, C have a large prime factor. We set H(A, B,C) = max(|A|, |B|, |C|), and consider primitive solutions (gcd}(A, B, C)=1) having no prime factor p…
A set of natural numbers $A$ is called primitive if no element of $A$ divides any other. Let $\Omega(n)$ be the number of prime divisors of $n$ counted with multiplicity. Let $f_z(A) = \sum_{a \in A}\frac{z^{\Omega(a)}}{a (\log a)^z}$,…
By applying inter-universal Teichm\"uller theory and its slight modification over the rational number field, we prove new Diophantine results towards effective abc inequalities and the generalized Fermat equations. For coprime integers $a,…
Let $K$ be a totally real field, and $r\geq 5$ a fixed rational prime. In this paper, we use the modular method as presented in the recent work of Freitas and Siksek to study non-trivial, primitive solutions $(x,y,z) \in \mathcal{O}_K^3$ of…
The Thue-Siegel method is used to obtain an upper bound for the number of primitive integral solutions to a family of quartic Thue's inequalities. This will provide an upper bound for the number of integer points on a family of elliptic…
