The integer $d=\prod_{i=1}^s p_i^{b_i}$ is called an exponential divisor of $n=\prod_{i=1}^s p_i^{a_i}>1$ if $b_i \mid a_i$ for every $i\in \{1,2,...,s\}$. Let $\tau^{(e)}(n)$ denote the number of exponential divisors of $n$, where…

In this paper, we solve the simultaneous Diophantine equations(SDE) x_1^u+...+x_n^u=k(y_1^u+...+y_{n/k}); u=1,3, where n >3, and k< n, is a divisor of n , and obtain nontrivial parametric solution for them. Furthermore we present a method…

For a half-integral weight modular form $f = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} a_f(n)n^{\frac{k-1}{2}} q^n$ of weight $k = l +\frac{1}{2}$ on $\Gamma_0(4)$ such that $a_f(n)$ ($n$ $\in$ $\mathbb{N}$) are real, we prove for a fixed suitable natural number…

We investigate Ramanujan congruences for the function which counts the overpartitions of n with restricted odd differences. In particular, we show that only one such congruence exists. Our method involves using the theory of modular forms…

Ramanujan, in his famous first letter to Hardy, claimed a very precise estimate for the number of integers that can be written as a sum of two squares. Far less well-known is that he also made further claims of a similar nature for the…

In this article using the theory of Eisenstein series, we give rise to the complete evaluation of two Gauss hypergeometric functions. Moreover we evaluate the modulus of each of these functions and the values of the functions in terms of…

We deal with the problem to find the number $P(b)$ of integer non-negative solutions of an equation $\sum_{i=1}^{n} a_i x_i=b$, where $a_1,a_2,...,a_n$ are natural numbers and $b$ is a non-negative integer. As different from the traditional…

Let f(1)=1, and let f(n+1)=2^{2^{f(n)}} for every positive integer n. We conjecture that if a system S \subseteq {x_i \cdot x_j=x_k: i,j,k \in {1,...,n}} \cup {x_i+1=x_k: i,k \in {1,...,n}} has only finitely many solutions in non-negative…

F. Luca proved for any fixed rational number $\alpha>0$ that the Diophantine equations of the form $\alpha\,m!=f(n!)$, where $f$ is either the Euler function or the divisor sum function or the function counting the number of divisors, have…

The $n$th Ramanujan prime is the smallest positive integer $R_n$ such that if $x \ge R_n$, then there are at least $n$ primes in the interval $(x/2,x]$. For example, Bertrand's postulate is $R_1 = 2$. Ramanujan proved that $R_n$ exists and…

For given positive integers $n$ and $a$, let $R(n;\,a)$ denote the number of positive integer solutions $(x,\,y)$ of the Diophantine equation $$ {a\over n}={1\over x}+{1\over y}. $$ Write $$ S(N;\,a)=\sum_{\substack{n\leq N…

We show that for any irrational $\alpha$ and any $\tau<8/23$ there are infinitely many $n$ which are the product of two primes for which $$\|n\alpha\|\leq n^{-\tau}.$$ We also show that for all sufficiently large $b$ there exist 3-digit…

In the spirit of Lehmer's unresolved speculation on the nonvanishing of Ramanujan's tau-function, it is natural to ask whether a fixed integer is a value of $\tau(n)$ or is a Fourier coefficient $a_f(n)$ of any given newform $f(z)$. We…

In this paper we attempt to prove Lehmer's conjecture on Ramanujan's tau function, namely tau(n) is never zero, for each n larger than zero by investigating the additive group structure attached to tau(n) with the aid of unique…

Let $F_n$ denote the $n^{th}$ term of the Fibonacci sequence. In this paper, we investigate the Diophantine equation $F_1^p+2F_2^p+\cdots+kF_{k}^p=F_{n}^q$ in the positive integers $k$ and $n$, where $p$ and $q$ are given positive integers.…

An important unsolved problem in Diophantine number theory is to establish a general method to effectively find all solutions to any given $S$-unit equation with at least four terms. Although there are many works contributing to this…

Let $A,B,C,D$ be rational numbers such that $ABC \neq 0$, and let $n_1>n_2>n_3>0$ be positive integers. We solve the equation $$ Ax^{n_1}+Bx^{n_2}+Cx^{n_3}+D = f(g(x)),$$ in $f,g \in \mathbb{Q}[x]$. In sequel we use Bilu-Tichy method to…

We consider a closed Riemannian manifold $(M^n ,g)$ of dimension $n\geq 3$ and study positive solutions of the equation $-\Delta_g u + \lambda u = \lambda u^q$, with $\lambda >0$, $q>1$. If $M$ supports a proper isoparametric function with…

All the periodic points of a certain algebraic function related to the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction $r(\tau)$ are determined. They turn out to be $0, \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{5}}{2}$, and the conjugates over $\mathbb{Q}$ of the values…

In this paper, we establish two mean value theorems for the number of solutions of the Diophantine equation $\frac{a}{n}=\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}$, in the case when $a$ is fixed and $n$ varies and in the case when both $a$ and $n$ vary.
