In this paper, we establish a bijection between the set of mutation classes of mutation-cyclic skew-symmetric integral 3x3-matrices and the set of triples of integers (a,b,c) which are all greater than 1 and where the product of the two…

In this paper, we solve the simultaneous Diophantine equations m.(x_1^k+....+x_{t_1}^k)=n.(y_1^k+....+y_{t_2}^k); k=1,3, where t_1, t_2>3, and m, n are fixed arbitrary and relatively prime positive integers. This is done by choosing two…

For a real number $x$, $\| x\| = \min \{|x-p|: p\in Z\}$ is the distance of $x$ to the nearest integer. We say that two real numbers $\theta$, $\theta'$ are $\pm$ equivalent if their sum or difference is an integer. Let $\theta$ be…

The Birkhoff's theorem states that any doubly stochastic matrix lies inside a convex polytope with the permutation matrices at the corners. It can be proven that a similar theorem holds for unitary matrices with equal line sums for prime…

To give a parametrization of the Diophantine equation $A^{3}+B^{3}=C^{3}+D^{3}$ in terms of integral binary quadratic forms in a constructive way.

The subject matter of this work is the diophantine equation x^n+y^m=c(x^k)(y^l), where n,m,k,l,c are natural numbers.We investigate this equation from the point of view of positive integer solutions.A preliminary examination of sources such…

In this article, I study and solve the exponential Diophantine equation $M_p^{x} + (M_q + 1)^{y}= (lz)^2$ where $M_p$ and $M_q$ are Mersenne primes, $l$ is a prime number, and $x,y$, and $z$ are non-negative integers. Several illustrations…

This note defines a family of Laurent polynomials (indexed in the rational projective line) which generalize the Markoff numbers and relate to the character variety of the one-cusped torus. We describe which monomials appear in each…

For integers $a\neq0$, $k$, and $n\geq3$, we consider the Markoff-Hurwitz equation given by $x_1^1+\cdots+x_n^2-ax_1\cdots x_n=k$. By defining graphs associated with a height function and by using their properties, we find an exact…

A question of interest in Linear Algebra is whether all n x n complex matrices can be unitarily tridiagonalised. The answer for all n not equal to 4 (affirmative or negative) has been known for a while, whereas the case n=4 seems to have…

While it is trivial to multiply two C-finite sequences (just like integers), it is not quite so trivial to "factorize" them, or to decide whether they are "prime". The former is plain linear algebra, while the latter is heavy-duty…

Let $k\ge 2$ and $a_1, a_2, \cdots, a_k$ be positive integers with \[ \gcd(a_1, a_2, \cdots, a_k)=1. \] It is proved that there exists a positive integer $G_{a_1, a_2, \cdots, a_k}$ such that every integer $n$ strictly greater than it can…

The Diophantine equation 4/n=1/x+1/y+1/z for a Pythagorean prime n is split into two independent Diophantine equations, which correspond to two different types of solution. The solvability of these equations forces certain restrictions on…

Markov polynomials are the Laurent-polynomial solutions of the generalised Markov equation $$X^2 + Y^2 + Z^2 = kXYZ, \quad k=\frac{x^2 + y^2 + z^2}{x y z}$$ which are the results of cluster mutations applied to the initial triple $(x, y,…

A graph is called integral if all eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix consist entirely of integers. We prove that for a given nullity more than 1, there are only finitely many integral trees. It is also shown that integral trees with…

We introduce a deformed squared Markov equation given by $X^2 + Y^2 + Z^2 + (q+q^{-1})(XY+YZ+XZ) = 3(1 + q + q^{-1})XYZ$. Symmetric solutions of this new equation present a remarkable factorization property which allows us to talk about…

In Descartes' five circle problem integer curvatures (inverse radii) are considered. The positive integer curvature triple [c_1, c_2, c_3] (dimensionless), with non-decreasing entries for three given mutually touching circles, leading to…

A pair $(a, b)$ of positive integers is a pythagorean pair if $a^2 + b^2 = \Box$ (i.e., $a^2 + b^2$ is a square). A pythagorean pair $(a, b)$ is called a double-pythapotent pair if there is another pythagorean pair $(k,l)$ such that…

In this paper we first investigate for what positive integers $a,b,c$ every nonnegative integer $n$ can be represented as $x(ax+1)+y(by+1)+z(cz+1)$ with $x,y,z$ integers. We show that $(a,b,c)$ can be either of the following seven triples:…

In this paper we consider the Diophantine equation \begin{align*}b^k +\left(a+b\right)^k &+ \cdots + \left(a\left(x-1\right) + b\right)^k=\\ &=d^l + \left(c+d\right)^l + \cdots + \left(c\left(y-1\right) + d\right)^l, \end{align*} where…
