The number of solutions to the generalized Pillai equation ± r a x ± s b y = c .

Reese Scott, Robert Styer (2013)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

We consider N , the number of solutions ( x , y , u , v ) to the equation ( - 1 ) u r a x + ( - 1 ) v s b y = c in nonnegative integers x , y and integers u , v { 0 , 1 } , for given integers a > 1 , b > 1 , c > 0 , r > 0 and s > 0 . When gcd ( r a , s b ) = 1 , we show that N 3 except for a finite number of cases all of which satisfy max ( a , b , r , s , x , y ) < 2 · 10 15 for each solution; when gcd ( a , b ) > 1 , we show that N 3 except for three infinite families of exceptional cases. We find several different ways to generate an infinite number of cases giving N = 3 solutions.

The optimality of the Bounded Height Conjecture

Evelina Viada (2009)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

In this article we show that the Bounded Height Conjecture is optimal in the sense that, if V is an irreducible subvariety with empty deprived set in a power of an elliptic curve, then every open subset of V does not have bounded height. The Bounded Height Conjecture is known to hold. We also present some examples and remarks.
