The abc conjecture is one of the most famous unsolved problems in number theory. The conjecture claims for each real $\epsilon > 0$ that there are only a finite number of coprime positive integer solutions to the equation $a+b = c$ with $c…

Erd\"os and Obl\'ath proved that the equation $n!\pm m!=x^p$ has only finitely many integer solutions. More general, under the ABC-conjecture, Luca showed that $P(x)=An!+Bm!$ has finitely many integer solutions for polynomials of degree…

Assuming the abc conjecture with $\epsilon=1/6$, we use elementary methods to show that only finitely many $s$-Cullen numbers are repunits, aside from two known infinite families. More precisely, only finitely many positive integers $s$,…

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…

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…

In this paper, we state a conjecture on the prime factorization of numbers of the form $n!+1$, explore its implications, and compare it with empirical evidence and established results based on the $abc$ conjecture.

We consider a variant of the ABC Conjecture, attempting to count the number of solutions to $A+B+C=0$, in relatively prime integers $A,B,C$ each of absolute value less than $N$ with $r(A)<|A|^a, r(B)<|B|^b, r(C)<|C|^c.$ The ABC Conjecture…

In this note, we look at the diophantine equation $$ \prod_{i=1}^ta_i!=\prod_{j=1}^sn_i!, \quad n_1\geq \cdots \geq n_s\geq 2 \quad \textnormal{and}\quad n_1>a_1\geq a_2\geq\cdots \geq a_t\geq2. $$ \noindent Let $s<t$. Under the (explicit)…

The conjecture of Masser-Oesterl\'e, popularly known as $abc$-conjecture have many consequences. We use an explicit version due to Baker to solve a number of conjectures.

In this article we prove that equation $\phi(x)=n$, for a fixed $n$, admits a finite number of solutions, we find the general form of these solutions, and we show that: if $x_0$ is a unique solution of this equation then $x_0$ is a product…

A nontrivial solution of the equation A!B! = C! is a triple of positive integers (A, B, C) with A $\le$ B $\le$ C -- 2. It is conjectured that the only nontrivial solution is (6, 7, 10), and this conjecture has been checked up to C = 10 6.…

We prove that the frequency of abc equations c^n = a+b satisfying the strong abc - conjecture is phi(c^n)/2+o(phi(c^n)/2), for n going to infinity.

We are interested in solutions of a norm form equation that takes values in a given multi-recurrence. We show that among the solutions there are only finitely many values in each component which lie in the given multi-recurrence unless the…

In [1] it is shown that the Diophantine equation $(k!)^n+k^n=(n!)^k+n^k$ only has the trivial solution $n=k$, and $(k!)^n-k^n=(n!)^k-n^k$ only has the solutions $n=k$, $(n, k)=(1, 2),$ and $(2, 1)$. In this article we find all solutions of…

The $abc$ conjecture is a very deep concept in number theory with wide application to many areas of number theory. In this article we introduce the conjecture and give examples of its applications. In particular we apply the $abc$…

We study the Diophantine equations obtained by equating a polynomial and the factorial function, and prove the finiteness of integer solutions under certain conditions. For example, we show that there exists only finitely many $l$ such that…

In this paper we affirm Br\"{u}ck conjecture provided $f$ is of hyper-order less than one by studying the infinite hyper-order of solutions of a complex differential equation.

In this paper we prove that assuming Schanuel's conjecture, an exponential polynomial in one variable over the algebraic numbers has only finitely many algebraic solutions. This implies a positive answer to Shapiro's conjecture for…

We prove a conjecture that classifies exceptional numbers. This conjecture arises in two different ways, from cryptography and from coding theory. An odd integer $t\geq 3$ is said to be exceptional if $f(x)=x^t$ is APN (Almost Perfect…

In this article, we study word equations in free semigroups and the conjecture that the existence of infinitely many solutions entails the existence of solutions with arbitrarily large exponent of periodicity. We examine this question in…
