We investigate the integral solutions to the Diophantine equation where . We first generalise the forms of and that satisfy the equation. We then show the general forms of non-negative integral solutions to the equation under several conditions. We also investigate some special cases in which the integral solutions exist.

Many special cases of the equation x2+C= yn where x and y are positive integers and n≥3 have been considered over the years, but most results for general n are of fairly recent origin. The earliest reference seems to be an assertion by Fermat that he had shown that when C=2, n=3, the only solutions are given by x = 5, y = 3; a proof was published by Euler [1]. The first result for general n is due to Lebesgue [2] who proved that when C = 1 there are no solutions. Nagell [4] generalised Fermat's result and proved that for C = 2 the equation has no solution other than x = 5, y = 3, n = 3. He also showed [5] that for C = 4 the equation has no solution except x = 2, y = 2, n = 3 and x = 11, y = 5, n = 3, and claims in [6] to have dealt with the case C = 5. The case C = -1 was solved by Chao Ko, and an account appears in [3], pp. 302–304.

In a previous paper, the second author proved that the equation [Formula: see text] had no integral solutions for prime p > 211 and (A,B,C) = 1. In the present paper, we explain how to extend this result to smaller exponents, and to the related equation [Formula: see text]

The non- homogeneous ternary quadratic diophantine (Equation) is analyzed for its patterns of non-zero distinct integral solutions. Various interesting relations between the solutions and special numbers namely polygonal, Pronic and Gnomonic numbers are exhibited.

Let p be a prime and a a quadratic non-residue ( mod p). Then the set of integral solutions of the Diophantine equation [Formula: see text] form a cocompact discrete subgroup Γp, a ⊂ SL(2, ℝ) which is commensurable with the group of units of an order in a quaternion algebra over ℚ. The problem addressed in this paper is an estimate for the traces of a set of generators for Γp, a. Empirical results summarized in several tables show that the trace has significant and irregular fluctuations which is reminiscent of the behavior of the size of a generator for the solutions of Pell's equation. The geometry and arithmetic of the group of units of an order in a quaternion algebra play a key role in the development of the code for the purpose of this paper.

Laminar natural convection is analyzed for cases in which gravity varies with the distance from the leading edge of an isothermal plate. The study includes situations in which gravity varies by virtue of the varying slope of a surface. A general integral solution method which includes certain known integral solutions as special cases is developed to account for arbitrary position-dependence of gravity. A series method of solution is also developed for the full equations. Although it is more cumbersome it provides verification of the integral method.

Abstract Let ℕ be the set of all positive integers. In this paper, using some known results on various types of Diophantine equations, we solve a couple of special cases of the ternary equation x2 − y2m = zn , x, y, z, m, n ∈ ℕ, gcd(x, y) = 1, m ≥ 2, n ≥ 3.

AbstractWe show that the product of four or five consecutive positive terms in arithmetic progression can never be a perfect power whenever the initial term is coprime to the common difference of the arithmetic progression. This is a generalization of the results of Euler and Obláth for the case of squares, and an extension of a theorem of Győry on three terms in arithmetic progressions. Several other results concerning the integral solutions of the equation of the title are also obtained. We extend results of Sander on the rational solutions of the equation in n, y when b = d = 1. We show that there are only finitely many solutions in n, d, b, y when k ≥ 3, l ≥ 2 are fixed and k + l > 6.
