Consider the Diophantine equation yn=x+x(x+1)+⋯+x(x+1)⋯(x+k), where x, y, n, and k are integers. In 2016, a research article, entitled – ’power values of sums of products of consecutive integers’, primarily proved the inequality n= 19,736 to obtain all solutions (x,y,n) of the equation for the fixed positive integers k≤10. In this paper, we improve the bound as n≤ 10,000 for the same case k≤10, and for any fixed general positive integer k, we give an upper bound depending only on k for n.

AbstractIn the paper, employing methods and techniques in analysis and linear algebra, the authors find a simple formula for computing an interesting Hessenberg determinant whose elements are products of binomial coefficients and falling factorials, derive explicit formulas for computing some special Hessenberg and tridiagonal determinants, and alternatively and simply recover some known results.

For an integer n≯1 letP(n) be the largest prime factor of n. We prove that there are infinitely many triplets of consecutive integers with descending largest prime factors, that is P(n - 1) ≯P(n)≯P(n+1) occurs for infinitely many integers n.

SynopsisThe paper is intended as an elementary introduction and companion to the paper on “Orthogonal Polynomials,” by G. J. Lidstone, J.I.A., vol. briv., p. 128, and the paper on the “Sum and Integral of the Product of Two Functions,” by A. W. Joseph, J.I.A., vol. lxiv., p. 329; and also to Dr. Aitken's paper on the “Graduation of Data by the Orthogonal Polynomials of Least Squares,” Proc. Roy. Soc. Edin., vol. liii., p. 54.Following Dr. Aitken Σux is defined for the immediate purpose to be u0+…+ux−1.The scheme of successive summations is set out in the form of a difference diagram and is extended to negative arguments. The special point to which attention is drawn is the existence of a wedge of zeros between the sums for positive arguments and those for negative arguments.The rest of the paper is for the greater part a study of the table of binomial coefficients for positive and for negative arguments. The Tchebychef polynomials are simple functions of the binomial coefficients, and after a description of a particular example and of its properties general methods are given of forming the polynomials by means of tables of differences. These tables furnish examples of simple, differences, of divided differences, of adjusted differences, and of a system of special adjusted differences which gives a very easy scheme for the formation of the Tchebychef polynomials.
