Let $F(X)=X^{2^{2k}+2^k+1}$ be the power function over the finite field $\GF{2^{4k}}$ which is known as the Bracken-Leander function. In \cite{BCC10,BL10,CV20,Fu22,XY17}, it was proved that the number of solutions in $\GF{q^4}$ to the…

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,…

Computational approaches to finding non-trivial integer solutions of the equation in the title are discussed. We summarize previous work and provide several new solutions.

This article determines all the solutions in the finite field $GF{2^{4n}}$ of the equation $x^{2^{3n}+2^{2n}+2^{n}-1}+(x+1)^{2^{3n}+2^{2n}+2^{n}-1}=b$. Specifically, we explicitly determine the set of $b$'s for which the equation has $i$…

For each odd prime power q, and each integer k, we determine the sum of the k-th powers of all elements x in F_q for which both x and x+1 are squares in F_q^*. We also solve the analogous problem when one or both of x and x+1 is a…

Integer solutions of the diophantine equation $A^4+hB^4=C^4+hD^4$ are known for all positive integer values of $h < 1000$. While a solution of the aforementioned diophantine equation for any arbitrary positive integer value of $h$ is not…

In this paper, we use the method of Thue and Siegel, based on explicit Pade approximations to algebraic functions, to completely solve a family of quartic Thue equations. From this result, we can also solve the diophantine equation in the…

Lie group analysis of the difference equations of the form \begin{align*} x_{n+1} =\frac{x_{n-4}x_{n-3}}{x_{n}(a_n +b_nx_{n-4}x_{n-3}x_{n-2}x_{n-1})}, \end{align*} where $a_n$ and $b_n$ are real sequences, is performed and non-trivial…

Let $p$ and $q$ be distinct primes such that $q+1 | p-1$. In this paper we find all integer solutions $a$, $b$ to the equation $1/a + 1/b = (q+1)/pq$ using only elementary methods.

In this paper, we solve the equation of the title under the assumption that $\gcd(x,d)=1$ and $n\geq 2$. This generalizes earlier work of the first author, Patel and Siksek [BPS16]. Our main tools include Frey-Hellegouarch curves and…

We solve the diophantine equations x^4 + d y^2 = z^p for d=2 and d=3 and any prime p>349 and p>131 respectively. The method consists in generalizing the ideas applied by Frey, Ribet and Wiles in the solution of Fermat's Last Theorem, and by…

A linear quaternionic equation in one quaternionic variable q is of the form $a_1 q b_1+a_2 q b_2+ ... +a_m q b_m = c$, where the $a_i, b_j, c$ are given quaternionic coefficients. If introducing basis elements $\bf i, j, k$ of pure…

Using elementary number theory we study Diophantine equations over the rational integers of the following form, $y^2=(x+a)(x+a+k)(x+b)(x+b+k)$, $y^2=c^2x^4+ax^2+b$ and $y^2=(x^2-1)(x^2-\alpha^2)(x^2-(\alpha+1)^2).$ We express their integer…

Let $q = p^m$, where $p$ is an odd prime number and $m$ is a positive integer. In this paper, we examine the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$, which consists of $q^2$ elements. We first present an alternative method to determine the…

In our work we study the equations of the form $aX^4+bX^2 Y^2+cY^4=dZ^2$ over Gaussian integers by a method of the resolvents. We study as a new equations $X^4+6X^2 Y^2+Y^4=Z^2$ (Mordell's equation over $\mathbb{Z}[i]$),…

In this paper, we obtain exact solutions of the following rational difference equation $ x_{n+1}=\frac{x_{n}x_{n-2}x_{n-4}}{ x_{n-1}x_{n-3}(a_{n}+b_{n}x_{n}x_{n-2}x_{n-4})}, $ where $a_{n}$ and $b_{n}$ are random real sequences, by using…

Let $p$ be a prime number, $m$ be an even positive integer, and $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field with $q = p^m$ elements. In this paper, we compute the number of solutions with all coordinates in $\mathbb{F}_q^*$ for diagonal equations of…

The paper deals with the following system of nonlinear difference equations \begin{equation*} x_{n+1}=ax_{n}^{2}y_{n}+bx_{n}y_{n}^{2},\ y_{n+1}=cx_{n}^{2}y_{n}+dx_{n}y_{n}^{2},\ n\in \mathbb{N}_{0}, \end{equation*} where the initial values…

We determine the roots in F_{q^3} of the polynomial X^{2q^k+1} + X + c for each positive integer k and each c in F_q, where q is a power of 2. We introduce a new approach for this type of question, and we obtain results which are more…

Differential uniformity is a significant concept in cryptography as it quantifies the degree of security of S-boxes respect to differential attacks. Power functions of the form $F(x)=x^d$ with low differential uniformity have been…
