In this paper, we study the existence of at least one positive solution for a nonlinear third-order two-point boundary value problem with integral condition. By employing the Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem on cones, the existence…

We deal with the problem to find the number $P(b)$ of integer non-negative solutions of an equation $\sum_{i=1}^{n} a_i x_i=b$, where $a_1,a_2,...,a_n$ are natural numbers and $b$ is a non-negative integer. As different from the traditional…

Let $\epsilon$ be a fixed positive quantity, $m$ be a large integer, $x_j$ denote integer variables. We prove that for any positive integers $N_1,N_2,N_3$ with $N_1N_2N_3>m^{1+\epsilon},$ the set $$ \{x_1x_2x_3 \pmod m: \quad x_j\in [1,N_j]…

Recently, several bounds have been obtained on the number of solutions to congruences of the type $$ (x_1+s)...(x_{\nu}+s)\equiv (y_1+s)...(y_{\nu}+s)\not\equiv0 \pmod p $$ modulo a prime $p$ with variables from some short intervals. Here,…

For any odd positive integer $x$, define $(x_n)_{n\geqslant 0} $ and $(a_n )_{n\geqslant 1} $ by setting $x_{0}=x, \,\, x_n =\cfrac{3x_{n-1} +1}{2^{a_n }}$ such that all $x_n $ are odd. The 3x+1 problem asserts that there is an $x_n =1$ for…

Nonlinear matrix equations arise in many practical contexts related to control theory, dynamical programming and finite element methods for solving some partial differential equations. In most of these applications, it is needed to compute…

We study non-variational degenerate elliptic equations with high order singular structures. No boundary data are imposed and singularities occur along an {\it a priori} unknown interior region. We prove that positive solutions have a…

Finding the $n$-th positive square number is easy, as it is simply $n^2$. But how do we find the complementary sequence, i.e., the $n$-th positive non-square number? For this case there is an explicit formula. However, for general…

For a prime $p$ and an integer $a \in \Z$ we obtain nontrivial upper bounds on the number of solutions to the congruence $x^x \equiv a \pmod p$, $1 \le x \le p-1$. We use these estimates to estimate the number of solutions to the congruence…

Systems of random linear equations may or may not have solutions with all components being non-negative. The question is, e.g., of relevance when the unknowns are concentrations or population sizes. In the present paper we show that if such…
