Congruent numbers with higher exponents

Florian LucaLászló Szalay — 2006

Acta Mathematica Universitatis Ostraviensis

This paper investigates the system of equations x 2 + a y m = z 1 2 , x 2 - a y m = z 2 2 in positive integers x , y , z 1 , z 2 , where a and m are positive integers with m 3 . In case of m = 2 we would obtain the classical problem of congruent numbers. We provide a procedure to solve the simultaneous equations above for a class of the coefficient a with the condition gcd ( x , z 1 ) = gcd ( x , z 2 ) = gcd ( z 1 , z 2 ) = 1 . Further, under same condition, we even prove a finiteness theorem for arbitrary nonzero a .

On the Diophantine equation j = 1 k j F j p = F n q

Gökhan SoydanLászló NémethLászló Szalay — 2018

Archivum Mathematicum

Let F n denote the n t h term of the Fibonacci sequence. In this paper, we investigate the Diophantine equation F 1 p + 2 F 2 p + + k F k p = F n q in the positive integers k and n , where p and q are given positive integers. A complete solution is given if the exponents are included in the set { 1 , 2 } . Based on the specific cases we could solve, and a computer search with p , q , k 100 we conjecture that beside the trivial solutions only F 8 = F 1 + 2 F 2 + 3 F 3 + 4 F 4 , F 4 2 = F 1 + 2 F 2 + 3 F 3 , and F 4 3 = F 1 3 + 2 F 2 3 + 3 F 3 3 satisfy the title equation.
