Diophantine equations involving double factorials

Number Theory 2025-10-29 v1

Abstract

We are motivated by a result of Alzer and Luca who presented all the integer solutions to the relations (k!)nkn=(n!)knk(k!)^n-k^n=(n!)^k-n^k and (k!)n+kn=(n!)k+nk(k!)^n+k^n=(n!)^k+n^k. We modify the equations by considering the double factorial instead and present all integer solutions. We also consider some variations of these equations. Furthermore, we study equations of the form f(x)=A1n1n1!!Arnrnr!!f(x)=A_1^{n_1}n_1!!\cdots A_r^{n_r}n_r!!, where f(x)f(x) is a rational polynomial, and show that under the ABC conjecture there are only finitely many integer solutions.
