On the integer solutions of exponential equations in function fields

Umberto Zannier (2004)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

This paper is concerned with the estimation of the number of integer solutions to exponential equations in several variables, over function fields. We develop a method which sometimes allows to replace known exponential bounds with polynomial ones. More generally, we prove a counting result (Thm. 1) on the integer points where given exponential terms become linearly dependent over the constant field. Several applications are given to equations (Cor. 1) and to the estimation of the number of equal...

On the intersection of two distinct k -generalized Fibonacci sequences

Diego Marques (2012)

Mathematica Bohemica

Let k 2 and define F ( k ) : = ( F n ( k ) ) n 0 , the k -generalized Fibonacci sequence whose terms satisfy the recurrence relation F n ( k ) = F n - 1 ( k ) + F n - 2 ( k ) + + F n - k ( k ) , with initial conditions 0 , 0 , , 0 , 1 ( k terms) and such that the first nonzero term is F 1 ( k ) = 1 . The sequences F : = F ( 2 ) and T : = F ( 3 ) are the known Fibonacci and Tribonacci sequences, respectively. In 2005, Noe and Post made a conjecture related to the possible solutions of the Diophantine equation F n ( k ) = F m ( ) . In this note, we use transcendental tools to provide a general method for finding the intersections F ( k ) F ( m ) which gives evidence supporting...

On the irrationality measure of ζ ( 2 )

Georges Rhin, Carlo Viola (1993)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We prove that 7. 398 537 is an irrationality measure of ζ ( 2 ) = π 2 / 6 . We employ double integrals of suitable rational functions invariant under a group of birational transformations of 2 . The numerical results are obtained with the aid of a semi-infinite linear programming method.
