On the Diophantine equation ( 2 x - 1 ) ( p y - 1 ) = 2 z 2

Ruizhou Tong (2021)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

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.

On the diophantine equation f(x)f(y) = f(z)²

Maciej Ulas (2007)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Let f ∈ ℚ [X] and deg f ≤ 3. We prove that if deg f = 2, then the diophantine equation f(x)f(y) = f(z)² has infinitely many nontrivial solutions in ℚ (t). In the case when deg f = 3 and f(X) = X(X²+aX+b) we show that for all but finitely many a,b ∈ ℤ satisfying ab ≠ 0 and additionally, if p|a, then p²∤b, the equation f(x)f(y) = f(z)² has infinitely many nontrivial solutions in rationals.

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.
