Let $(L_n^{(k)})_{n\geq 2-k}$ be the sequence of $k$--generalized Lucas numbers for some fixed integer $k\ge 2$ whose first $k$ terms are $0,\ldots,0,2,1$ and each term afterwards is the sum of the preceding $k$ terms. In this paper, we…
Using methods developed in multivariate splines, we present an explicit formula for discrete truncated powers, which are defined as the number of non-negative integer solutions of linear Diophantine equations. We further use the formula to…
The sufficient conditions for solvability of a linear Diophantine equation $\sum_{i=1}^{n}a_ix_i=b$ (with $a_1,a_2,...,a_n\in \mathbb{N}$) in non-negative integers $x_1,x_2,...,x_n$ are given. The explicit formulas are given for Frobenius…
Let $\varepsilon>0$ and $\mathbf h\in \mathbb Z^3$. We show that whenever $P$ is large and the system \[ x_1^j+x_2^j-y_1^j-y_2^j=h_j\quad (j=1,2,3) \] has more than $P^\varepsilon$ integral solutions with $1\le x_i,y_i\le P$, then there…
For two relatively prime positive integers $a, b\in \mathbb{N}$, it is known that exactly one of the two Diophantine equations $$ax + by \ =\ \frac{(a-1)(b-1)}{2}\ \mbox{ and }\ 1 + ax + by \ =\ \frac{(a-1)(b-1)}{2}$$ has a nonnegative…
We consider a variety of Euler's conjecture, i.e., whether the Diophantine system \[\begin{cases} n=a_{1}+a_{2}+\cdots+a_{s-1}, a_{1}a_{2}\cdots a_{s-1}(a_{1}+a_{2}+\cdots+a_{s-1})=b^{s} \end{cases}\] has solutions…
In this paper we determine the perfect powers that are sums of three fifth powers in an arithmetic progression. More precisely, we completely solve the Diophantine equation $$ (x-d)^5 + x^5 + (x + d)^5 = z^n,~n\geq 2, $$ where $d,x,z \in…
Generalizing an argument of Matiyasevich, we illustrate a method to generate infinitely many diophantine equations whose solutions can be completely described by linear recurrences. In particular, we provide an integer-coefficient…
Let $r, v, n$ be positive integers. This paper investigate the number of solutions $s_{r,v}(n)$ of the following infinite Diophantine equations $$ n=1^{r}\cdot |k_{1}|^{v}+2^{r}\cdot |k_{2}|^{v}+3^{r}\cdot |k_{3}|^{v}+\ldots, $$ for ${\bf…
Let $1<k<14/5$, $\lambda_1,\lambda_2,\lambda_3$ and $\lambda_4$ be non-zero real numbers, not all of the same sign such that $\lambda_1/\lambda_2$ is irrational and let $\omega$ be a real number. We prove that the inequality…
We present structural results on solutions to the Diophantine system $A{\boldsymbol y} = {\boldsymbol b}$, ${\boldsymbol y} \in \mathbb Z^t_{\ge 0}$ with the smallest number of non-zero entries. Our tools are algebraic and number theoretic…
Inspired by the fact that the sum of the cubes of the first $n$ naturals is equal to the square of their sum, we explore, for each $n$, the Diophantine equation representing all non-trivial sets of $n$ integers with this property. We find…
In this paper we solve the ternary Piatetski-Shapiro inequality with prime numbers of a special form. More precisely we show that, for any fixed $1<c<\frac{427}{400}$, every sufficiently large positive number $N$ and a small constant…
We consider the uniqueness of positive solutions to semilinear elliptic equations with double power nonlinearities. We deduce the uniqueness from the argument in the classical paper by Peletier and Serrin, thereby recovering a part of the…
Using only elementary arguments, Cassels solved the Diophantine equation $(x-1)^3+x^3+(x+1)^3=z^2$ in integers $x$, $z$. The generalization $(x-1)^k+x^k+(x+1)^k=z^n$ (with $x$, $z$, $n$ integers and $n \ge 2$) was considered by Zhongfeng…
We introduce the concept of disjunctive sum of squares for certifying nonnegativity of polynomials. Unlike the popular sum of squares approach where nonnegativity is certified by a single algebraic identity, the disjunctive sum of squares…
If $k$ is a sufficiently large positive integer, we show that the Diophantine equation $$n (n+d) \cdots (n+ (k-1)d) = y^{\ell}$$ has at most finitely many solutions in positive integers $n, d, y$ and $\ell$, with $\operatorname{gcd}(n,d)=1$…
We refine a result of W.P. Li and Wang on the values of the form $ \lambda_1p_1 + \lambda_2p_2^{2} + \lambda_3p_3^{2} + \mu_1 2^{m_1} +...+ \mu_s 2^{m_s}, $ where $p_1,p_2,p_3$ are prime numbers, $m_1,..., m_s$ are positive integers,…
In this paper, we consider the problem about finding out perfect powers in an alternating sum of consecutive cubes. More precisely, we completely solve the Diophantine equation $(x+1)^3 - (x+2)^3 + \cdots - (x + 2d)^3 + (x + 2d + 1)^3 =…
We derive a closed expression for the number of nonnegative solutions of a certain system of linear Diophantine equations. The motivation comes from high energy physics where the nonnegative solutions play a crucial role in the perturbative…
