We discuss the feasibility of an elementary solution to the Diophantine equation of the form x2 + D = yn, where D > 1, n ≥ 3 and x > 0, called the Lebesgue–Nagell equation, which has recently been solved for 1 ≤ D ≤ 100 in [1].

This paper describes an authentication scheme that uses Diophantine equations based generation of the secret locations to embed the authentication and recovery watermark in the DWT sub-bands. The security lies in the difficulty of finding a solution to the Diophantine equation. The scheme uses the content invariant features of the image as a self-authenticating watermark and a quantized down sampled approximation of the original image as a recovery watermark for visual authentication, both embedded securely using secret locations generated from solution of the Diophantine equations formed from the PQ sequences. The scheme is mildly robust to Jpeg compression and highly robust to Jpeg2000 compression. The scheme also ensures highly imperceptible watermarked images as the spatio –frequency properties of DWT are utilized to embed the dual watermarks.

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.

AbstractAn elementary approach, based on a systematic use of lower and upper solutions, is employed to detect the qualitative properties of solutions of first order scalar periodic ordinary differential equations. This study is carried out in the Carathéodory setting, avoiding any uniqueness assumption, in the future or in the past, for the Cauchy problem. Various classical and recent results are recovered and generalized.
