Similarity:

Let E be an elliptic curve given by y 2 = x 3 - n x with a positive integer n . Duquesne in 2007 showed that if n = ( 2 k 2 - 2 k + 1 ) ( 18 k 2 + 30 k + 17 ) is square-free with an integer k , then certain two rational points of infinite order can always be in a system of generators for the Mordell-Weil group of E . In this paper, we generalize this result and show that the same is true for infinitely many binary forms n = n ( k , l ) in [ k , l ] .

Rational approximations to 2 3 and other algebraic numbers revisited

Similarity:

In this paper, we establish improved effective irrationality measures for certain numbers of the form n 3 , using approximations obtained from hypergeometric functions. These results are very close to the best possible using this method. We are able to obtain these results by determining very precise arithmetic information about the denominators of the coefficients of these hypergeometric functions. Improved bounds for the Chebyshev functions in arithmetic progressions θ ( k , l ; x ) and...

Improving on some results of J.-L. Nicolas [], the elements of the set 𝒜 = 𝒜 ( 1 + z + z 3 + z 4 + z 5 ) , for which the partition function p ( 𝒜 , n ) (i.e. the number of partitions of n with parts in 𝒜 ) is even for all n 6 are determined. An asymptotic estimate to the counting function of this set is also given.
