AbstractWe shall show that, for any positive integer D > 0 and any primes p1, p2, the diophantine equation x2 + D = 2sp1kp2l has at most 63 integer solutions (x, k, l, s) with x, k, l ≥ 0 and s ∈ {0, 2}.

In this paper, we studied the positive integer solutions of a typical Diophantine equation starting from two basic equations including a Diophantine equation and a Pell equation, and we will prove all the positive integer solutions of the typical Diophantine equation.

AbstractLet a, b, c, x and y be positive integers. In this paper we sharpen a result of Le by showing that the Diophantine equation has at most two positive integer solutions (m,n) satisfying min (m,n)>1.

Let f ( 1 ) = 1 , and let f ( n + 1 ) = 2 2 f ( n ) for every positive integer n. We consider the following hypothesis: if a system S ⊆ {xi · xj = xk : i, j, k ∈ {1, . . . , n}} ∪ {xi + 1 = xk : i, k ∈{1, . . . , n}} has only finitely many solutions in non-negative integers x1, . . . , xn, then each such solution (x1, . . . , xn) satisfies x1, . . . , xn ≤ f (2n). We prove:   (1) the hypothesisimplies that there exists an algorithm which takes as input a Diophantine equation, returns an integer, and this integer is greater than the heights of integer (non-negative integer, positive integer, rational) solutions, if the solution set is finite; (2) the hypothesis implies that there exists an algorithm for listing the Diophantine equations with infinitely many solutions in non-negative integers; (3) the hypothesis implies that the question whether or not a given Diophantine equation has only finitely many rational solutions is decidable by a single query to an oracle that decides whether or not a given Diophantine equation has a rational solution; (4) the hypothesis implies that the question whether or not a given Diophantine equation has only finitely many integer solutions is decidable by a single query to an oracle that decides whether or not a given Diophantine equation has an integer solution; (5) the hypothesis implies that if a set M ⊆ N has a finite-fold Diophantine representation, then M is computable.

Let a, b, c be integers. In this paper, we prove the integer solutions of the equation axy + byz + czx = 0 satisfy max {|x|, |y|, |z|} ≤ 2 max {a, b, c} when a, b, c are odd positive integers, and when a = b = 1, c = -1, the positive integer solutions of the equation satisfy max {x, y, z} < exp ( exp ( exp (5))).

We prove that the Diophantine equation [Formula: see text] has only finitely many positive integer solutions k, p1, …, pk, r1, …, rk, where p1, …, pk are distinct primes. If a positive integer n has prime factorization [Formula: see text], then [Formula: see text] represents the number of ordered factorizations of n into prime parts. Hence, solutions to the above Diophantine equation are designated as prime-perfect numbers.

AbstractLet n be a positive integer. In this paper, we consider the diophantine equation We prove that this equation has only the positive integer solutions (n, x, y, z) = (1, t, 1, 1), (1, t, 3, 2), (3, 2, 2, 2). Therefore we extend the work done by Leszczyński (Wiadom. Mat., vol. 3, 1959, pp. 37–39) and Makowski (Wiadom. Mat., vol. 9, 1967, pp. 221–224).

Let f ( 1 ) = 1 , and let f ( n + 1 ) = 2 2 f ( n ) for every positive integer n. We consider the following hypothesis: if a system S &sube; {xi &middot; xj = xk : i, j, k &isin; {1, . . . , n}} &cup; {xi + 1 = xk : i, k &isin;{1, . . . , n}} has only finitely many solutions in non-negative integers x1, . . . , xn, then each such solution (x1, . . . , xn) satisfies x1, . . . , xn &le; f (2n). We prove:&nbsp;&nbsp; (1) the hypothesisimplies that there exists an algorithm which takes as input a Diophantine equation, returns an integer, and this integer is greater than the heights of integer (non-negative integer, positive integer, rational) solutions, if the solution set is finite; (2) the hypothesis implies that there exists an algorithm for listing the Diophantine equations with infinitely many solutions in non-negative integers; (3) the hypothesis implies that the question whether or not a given Diophantine equation has only finitely many rational solutions is decidable by a single query to an oracle that decides whether or not a given Diophantine equation has a rational solution; (4) the hypothesis implies that the question whether or not a given Diophantine equation has only finitely many integer solutions is decidable by a single query to an oracle that decides whether or not a given Diophantine equation has an integer solution; (5) the hypothesis implies that if a set M &sube; N has a finite-fold Diophantine representation, then M is computable.

It is well known that the number P_k(x)=\frac{x((k-2)(x-1)+2)}{2} is called the x-th k-gonal number, where x\geq1,k\geq3. Many Diophantine equations about polygonal numbers have been studied. By the theory of Pell equation, we show that if G(k-2)(A(p-2)a^2+2Cab+B(q-2)b^2) is a positive integer but not a perfect square, (2A(p-2)\alpha-(p-4)A + 2C\beta+2D)a + (2B(q-2)\beta-(q-4)B+2C\alpha+2E)b>0, 2G(k-2)\gamma-(k-4)G+2H>0 and the Diophantine equation \[AP_p(x)+BP_q(y)+Cxy+Dx+Ey+F=GP_k(z)+Hz\] has a nonnegative integer solution (\alpha,\beta,\gamma), then it has infinitely many positive integer solutions of the form (at + \alpha,bt + \beta,z), where p, q, k \geq 3 and p,q,k,a,b,t,A,B,G\in\mathbb{Z^+}, C,D,E,F,H\in\mathbb{Z}.

Bumby proved that the only positive integer solutions to the quartic Diophantine equation 3X4 - 2Y2 = 1 are (X, Y) = (1, 1),(3, 11). In this paper, we use Thue's hypergeometric method to prove that, for each integer m ≥ 1, the only positive integers solutions to the Diophantine equation (m2 + m + 1)X4 - (m2 + m)Y2 = 1 are (X,Y) = (1, 1),(2m + 1, 4m2 + 4m + 3).
