We prove that if $B$ is a set of $N$ positive integers such that $B\cdot B$ contains an arithmetic progression of length $M$, then for some absolute $C > 0$, $$ \pi(M) + C \frac {M^{2/3}}{\log^2 M} \leq N, $$ where $\pi$ is the prime…

For any integer $x$, let $T_x$ denote the triangular number $\frac{x(x+1)}{2}$. In this paper we give a complete characterization of all the triples of positive integers $(\alpha, \beta, \gamma)$ for which the ternary sums $\alpha x^2…

In this article, we prove that the density of integers $a, b$ such that $a^4+b^3$ is squarefree, when ordered by $\max\{|a|^{1/3},|b|^{1/4}\}$, equals the conjectured product of the local densities. We show that the same is true for…

The original version of this paper did not take into account that there may be solutions (x_0, y_o)in Z X Z of f(x,y) = x^3 + p(y)x + q(y) = 0 even though w_0 = (-3D(y_0))^(1/2) is irrational.

Let $d>r\ge 0$ be integers. For positive integers $a,b,c$, if any term of the arithmetic progression $\{r+dn:\ n=0,1,2,\ldots\}$ can be written as $ax^2+by^2+cz^2$ with $x,y,z\in\mathbb{Z}$, then the form $ax^2+by^2+cz^2$ is called…

We show that every sufficiently large integer is a sum of a prime and two almost prime squares, and also a sum of a smooth number and two almost prime squares. The number of such representations is of the expected order of magnitude. We…

We propose an efficient computational method for finding all solutions $n\leq U$ to the Diophantine equation $a\sigma(n) = bn + c$, where integer coefficient $a,b,c$ and an upper bound $U$ are given. Our method is implemented in SageMath…

In this article we explicitly describe irreducible trinomials X^3-aX+b which gives all the cyclic cubic extensions of Q. In doing so, we construct all integral points (x,y,z) with GCD(y,z)=1, of the curves X^2+3Y^2 = 4DZ^3 and…

Let $b \geq 3$ be a positive integer. A natural number is said to be a base-$b$ Zuckerman number if it is divisible by the product of its base-$b$ digits. Let $\mathcal{Z}_b(x)$ be the set of base-$b$ Zuckerman numbers that do not exceed…

We construct complete asymptotic expansions of solutions of the 1D semiclassical Schr\"odinger equation near transition points. There are three main novelties: (1) transition points of order $\kappa\geq 2$ (i.e.\ trapped points -- the…

In 2016, while studying restricted sums of integral squares, Sun posed the following conjecture: Every positive integer $n$ can be written as $x^2+y^2+z^2+w^2$ $(x,y,z,w\in\mathbb{N}=\{0,1,\cdots\})$ with $x+3y$ a square. Meanwhile, he also…

In this paper, it is proved that every sufficiently large even integer can be represented as the sum of two squares of primes, two cubes of primes, two biquadrates of primes and 16 powers of 2. Furthermore, there are at least 5.313% odd…

Every integer greater than two can be expressed as the sum of a prime and a square-free number. Expanding on recent work, we provide explicit and asymptotic results when divisibility conditions are imposed on the square-free number. For…

Let $B_k$ denote the $k^{th}$ term of balancing sequence. In this paper we find all positive integer solutions of the Diophantine equation $B_n+B_m = x^q$ in variables $(m, n,x,q)$ under the assumption $n\equiv m \pmod 2$. Furthermore, we…

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:…

Estimates are provided for $s$th moments of cubic smooth Weyl sums, when $4\le s\le 8$, by enhancing the author's iterative method that delivers estimates beyond classical convexity. As a consequence, an improved lower bound is presented…

In this note we consider the title Diophantine equation from both theoretical as well as experimental point of view. In particular, we prove that for $k=4, 6$ and each choice of the signs our equation has infinitely many co-prime positive…

Let k>2 be a fixed integer exponent and let \theta > 9/10. We show that a positive integer N can be represented as a non-trivial sum or difference of 3 k-th powers, using integers of size at most B, in O(B^{\theta}N^{1/10}) ways, providing…

For integer $n\geqslant 1$ and real number $z\geqslant 1$, define $M(n,z):=\sum_{d|n,\,d\leqslant z}\mu(d)$ where $\mu$ denotes the M\"obius function. Put ${\cal L}(y):=\exp\left\{(\log y)^{3/5}/(\log_2y)^{1/5}\right\}$ $(y\geqslant 3)$. We…
