Similarity:

Let r,m be positive integers with r > 1, m even, and A,B be integers satisfying A + B ( - 1 ) = ( m + ( - 1 ) ) r . We prove that the Diophantine equation | A | x + | B | y = ( m ² + 1 ) z has no positive integer solutions in (x,y,z) other than (x,y,z) = (2,2,r), whenever r > 10 74 or m > 10 34 . Our result is an explicit refinement of a theorem due to F. Luca.

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

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.

Ruizhou Tong (2021)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let p be an odd prime. By using the elementary methods we prove that: (1) if 2 x , p ± 3 ( mod 8 ) , the Diophantine equation ( 2 x - 1 ) ( p y - 1 ) = 2 z 2 has no positive integer solution except when p = 3 or p is of the form p = 2 a 0 2 + 1 , where a 0 > 1 is an odd positive integer. (2) if 2 x , 2 y , y 2 , 4 , then the Diophantine equation ( 2 x - 1 ) ( p y - 1 ) = 2 z 2 has no positive integer solution.

Diophantine equations involving factorials

Similarity:

We study the Diophantine equations ( k ! ) n - k n = ( n ! ) k - n k and ( k ! ) n + k n = ( n ! ) k + n k , where k and n are positive integers. We show that the first one holds if and only if k = n or ( k , n ) = ( 1 , 2 ) , ( 2 , 1 ) and that the second one holds if and only if k = n .

Mihai Cipu (2019)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

The triples ( x , y , z ) = ( 1 , z z - 1 , z ) , ( x , y , z ) = ( z z - 1 , 1 , z ) , where z , satisfy the equation x y + y x = z z . In this paper it is shown that the same equation has no integer solution with min { x , y , z } > 1 , thus a conjecture put forward by Z. Zhang, J. Luo, P. Z. Yuan (2013) is confirmed.

A remark on a Diophantine equation of S. S. Pillai

Azizul Hoque (2024)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

S. S. Pillai proved that for a fixed positive integer a , the exponential Diophantine equation x y - y x = a , min ( x , y ) > 1 , has only finitely many solutions in integers x and y . We prove that when a is of the form 2 z 2 , the above equation has no solution in integers x and y with gcd ( x , y ) = 1 .

A note on the weighted Khintchine-Groshev Theorem

Mumtaz Hussain, Tatiana Yusupova (2014)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

Let W ( m , n ; ψ ̲ ) denote the set of ψ 1 , ... , ψ n –approximable points in m n . The classical Khintchine–Groshev theorem assumes a monotonicity condition on the approximating functions ψ ̲ . Removing monotonicity from the Khintchine–Groshev theorem is attributed to different authors for different cases of m and n . It can not be removed for m = n = 1 as Duffin–Schaeffer provided the counter example. We deal with the only remaining case m = 2 and thereby remove all unnecessary conditions from the Khintchine–Groshev theorem. ...

Similarity:

Let { U n } = { U n ( P , Q ) } and { V n } = { V n ( P , Q ) } be the Lucas sequences of the first and second kind respectively at the parameters P 1 and Q { - 1 , 1 } . In this paper, we provide a technique for characterizing the solutions of the so-called Bartz-Marlewski equation x 2 - 3 x y + y 2 + x = 0 , where ( x , y ) = ( U i , U j ) or ( V i , V j ) with i , j 1 . Then, the procedure of this technique is applied to completely resolve this equation with certain values of such parameters.

Kouèssi Norbert Adédji, Japhet Odjoumani, Alain Togbé (2023)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

Let P m and E m be the m -th Padovan and Perrin numbers respectively. Let r , s be non-zero integers with r 1 and s { - 1 , 1 } , let { U n } n 0 be the generalized Lucas sequence given by U n + 2 = r U n + 1 + s U n , with U 0 = 0 and U 1 = 1 . In this paper, we give effective bounds for the solutions of the following Diophantine equations P m = U n U k and E m = U n U k , where m , n and k are non-negative integers. Then, we explicitly solve the above Diophantine equations for the Fibonacci, Pell and balancing sequences.

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

Let ( G n ) n 1 be a binary linear recurrence sequence that is represented by the Lucas sequences of the first and second kind, which are { U n } and { V n } , respectively. We show that the Diophantine equation G n = B · ( g l m - 1 ) / ( g l - 1 ) has only finitely many solutions in n , m + , where g 2 , l is even and 1 B g l - 1 . Furthermore, these solutions can be effectively determined by reducing such equation to biquadratic elliptic curves. Then, by a result of Baker (and its best improvement due to Hajdu and Herendi) related to the bounds of the integral...

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.
