The Smallest Solutions to the Diophantine Equation

چکیده
In this paper we discuss a method used to find the smallest nontrivial positive integer solutions to a1 + a 6 2 = b 6 1 + b 6 2 + b 6 3 + b 6 4 + b 6 5. The method, which is an improvement over a simple brute force approach, can be applied to search the solution to similar equations involving sixth, eighth and tenth powers.

On the Diophantine Equation x^6+ky^3=z^6+kw^3
Given the positive integers m,n, solving the well known symmetric Diophantine equation xm+kyn=zm+kwn, where k is a rational number, is a challenge. By computer calculations, we show that for all integers k from 1 to 500, the Diophantine equation x6+ky3=z6+kw3 has infinitely many nontrivial (y≠w) rational solutions. Clearly, the same result holds for positive integers k whose cube-free part is n...

متن کاملHow to Solve a Diophantine Equation
These notes represent an extended version of a talk I gave for the participants of the IMO 2009 and other interested people. We introduce diophantine equations and show evidence that it can be hard to solve them. Then we demonstrate how one can solve a specific equation related to numbers occurring several times in Pascal’s Triangle with state-of-the-art methods. 1. Diophantine Equations The to...

1°. Let R be a commutative ring with a unit element, F(x) a homogeneous polynomial of degree n in t indeterminates xi, x2, . . ., xi with coefficients in R. Let I denote the subring of the coefficients of F(x) in R; that is, the smallest ring containing all of them. We consider the existence of solutions of the diophantine equation F(x) = z(1) in R or in I. Here z is an indeterminate and m is a...

have a solution in positive integers (x, y, z) other than that given by x = 5, y = 7 and z = 4. A negative answer to this question follows from a classical result of Ljunggren [8], as recently refined by Cohn [4]: Theorem 1.1. Let the fundamental solution of the equation v2−Du2 = 1 be a + b √ D (i.e. (v, u) = (a, b) is the smallest positive solution). Then the only possible solutions of the equ...
