We study the rational solutions of the Abel equation $x'=A(t)x^3+B(t)x^2$ where $A,B\in C[t]$. We prove that if $deg(A)$ is even or $deg(B)>(deg(A)-1)/2$ then the equation has at most two rational solutions. For any other case, an upper…

We study the Abel differential equation x0 = A(t)x3 + B(t)x2 +C(t)x. Specifically, we find bounds on the number of its rational solutions when A(t), B(t) and C(t) are polynomials with real or complex coefficients; and on the number of…

We study the number of rational limit cycles of the Abel equation $x'=A(t)x^3+B(t)x^2$, where $A(t)$ and $B(t)$ are real trigonometric polynomials. We show that this number is at most the degree of $A(t)$ plus one.

In the paper we first construct rational solutions for the Nijhoff-Quispel-Capel (NQC) equation by means of bilinear method. These solutions can be transferred to those of Q3$_\delta$ equation in the Adler-Bobenko-Suris (ABS) list. Then…

We obtain the solution of the fourth order difference equation $$ x_{n+1}=\frac{ \alpha x_{n-3}}{A+B x_{n-1}x_{n-3}}$$ with the initial conditions; $x_{-3}=d,$ $x_{-2}=c,$ $x_{-1}=b,$ and $x_{0}=a$ are arbitrary nonzero real numbers,…

In 1922, Mordell conjectured the striking statement that for a polynomial equation $f(x,y)=0$, if the topology of the set of complex number solutions is complicated enough, then the set of rational number solutions is finite. This was…

A classical problem due to Abel is to determine if a differential equation $y'=\eta y$ admits a non-trivial solution $y$ algebraic over $\mathbb C(x)$ when $\eta$ is a given algebraic function over $\mathbb C(x)$. Risch designed an…

Let $X\subseteq \mathbb{P}^3$ be a smooth projective surface of degree $d\ge 4$ defined over a number field $K$, and let $N_{X^{\prime}}(B)$ be the number of rational points of $X$ of height at most $B$ that do not lie on lines contained in…

In this note we present some results concerning the unirationality of the algebraic variety $\cal{S}_{f}$ given by the equation \begin{equation*} N_{K/k}(X_{1}+\alpha X_{2}+\alpha^2 X_{3})=f(t), \end{equation*} where $k$ is a number field,…

Let $A,B,C,D$ be rational numbers such that $ABC \neq 0$, and let $n_1>n_2>n_3>0$ be positive integers. We solve the equation $$ Ax^{n_1}+Bx^{n_2}+Cx^{n_3}+D = f(g(x)),$$ in $f,g \in \mathbb{Q}[x]$. In sequel we use Bilu-Tichy method to…

A solution of the Abel equation $\dot{x}=A(t)x^3+B(t)x^2$ such that $x(0)=x(1)$ is called a periodic orbit of the equation. Our main result proves that if there exist two real numbers $a$ and $b$ such that the function $aA(t)+bB(t)$ is not…

We discuss two conjectures. (I) For each x_1,...,x_n \in R (C) there exist y_1,...,y_n \in R (C) such that \forall i \in {1,...,n} |y_i| \leq 2^{2^{n-2}} \forall i \in {1,...,n} (x_i=1 \Rightarrow y_i=1) \forall i,j,k \in {1,...,n}…

We provide an upper bound on the uniform exponent of approximation to a triple (xi, xi^2, xi^3) by rational numbers with the same denominator, valid for any transcendental real number xi. This upper bound refines a previous result of…

We consider the Cauchy problem for the nonlinear wave equation $u_{tt} - \Delta_x u +q(t, x) u + u^3 = 0$ with smooth potential $q(t, x) \geq 0$ having compact support with respect to $x$. The linear equation without the nonlinear term…

All of the six Painlev\'e equations except the first have families of rational solutions, which are frequently important in applications. The third Painlev\'e equation in generic form depends on two parameters $m$ and $n$, and it has…
