We show how to determine the $k$-th bit of Chaitin's algorithmically random real number $\Omega$ by solving $k$ instances of the halting problem. From this we then reduce the problem of determining the $k$-th bit of $\Omega$ to determining…

We consider the equality of the values of the $n$th and $k$th elementary symmetric polynomials of $n$ not necessarily distinct positive integers. For $k < n$, we prove that this equation always has a solution, but only finitely many…

We deeply investigate the Diophantine equation $cx^2+d^{2m+1}=2y^n$ in integers $x, y\geq 1, m\geq 0$ and $n\geq 3$, where $c$ and $d$ are given coprime positive integers such that $cd\not\equiv 3 \pmod 4$. We first solve this equation for…

Let A(n) be a $k\times s$ matrix and $m(n)$ be a $k$ dimensional vector, where all entries of A(n) and $m(n)$ are integer-valued polynomials in $n$. Suppose that $$t(m(n)|A(n))=#\{x\in\mathbb{Z}_{+}^{s}\mid A(n)x=m(n)\}$$ is finite for each…

Here, we find all positive integer solutions of the Diophantine equation in the title, where $(\mathcal{U}_n)_{n\geqslant 0}$ is the generalized Lucas sequence $\mathcal{U}_0=0, \ \mathcal{U}_1=1$ and $\mathcal{U}_{n+1}=r \mathcal{U}_n +s…

We generalize Ramanujan's expansions of the fractional-power Euler functions (q^{1/5})_{\infty} = [ J_1 - q^{1/5} + q^{2/5} J_2 ](q^5)_{\infty} and (q^{1/7})_{\infty} = [ J_1 + q^{1/7} J_2 - q^{2/7} + q^{5/7} J_3 ] (q^7)_{\infty} to…

Let $\{ {U_{n}\}_{n \geq 0} }$ be a non-degenerate binary recurrence sequence with positive discriminant. Let $\{p_1,\ldots, p_s\}$ be fixed prime numbers and $\{b_1,\ldots ,b_s\}$ be fixed non-negative integers. In this paper, we obtain…

Let Q be an infinite set of positive integers. Denote by W_{\tau, n}(Q) (resp. W_{\tau, n}) the set of points in dimension n simultaneously \tau--approximable by infinitely many rationals with denominators in Q (resp. in N*). A non--trivial…

Let $1<c<\frac{26088036}{12301745},c\not=2$ and $N$ be a sufficiently large real number. In this paper, it is proved that, for almost all $R\in (N,2N]$, the Diophantine inequality \begin{equation*} \big|p_1^c+p_2^c+p_3^c-R\big|<\log^{-1}N…

We apply a method of Davenport to improve several estimates for slim exceptional sets associated with the asymptotic formula in Waring's problem. In particular, we show that the anticipated asymptotic formula in Waring's problem for sums of…

We study the Frobenius problem: given relatively prime positive integers $a_1,...,a_d$, find the largest value of t (the Frobenius number) such that $\sum_{k=1}^d m_k a_k = t$ has no solution in nonnegative integers $m_1,...,m_d$. Based on…

It is a popular paradoxical exercise to show that the infinite sum of positive integer numbers is equal to -1/12, sometimes called the Ramanujan sum. Here we propose a qualitative approach, much like that of a physicist, to show how the…
