چکیده
In this paper, we consider the Diophantine equation b + (a+ b) + · · ·+ (a (x− 1) + b) = = d + (c+ d) + · · ·+ (c (y − 1) + d) , where a, b, c, d, k, l are given integers with gcd(a, b) = gcd(c, d) = 1, k 6= l. We prove that, under some reasonable assumptions, the above equation has only finitely many solutions.

On the Average Value of Divisor Sums in Arithmetic Progressions
We consider very short sums of the divisor function in arithmetic progressions prime to a fixed modulus and show that “on average” these sums are close to the expected value. We also give applications of our result to sums of the divisor function twisted with characters (both additive and multiplicative) taken on the values of various functions, such as rational and exponential functions; in pa...
متن کاملOn rainbow 4-term arithmetic progressions
{sl Let $[n]={1,dots, n}$ be colored in $k$ colors. A rainbow AP$(k)$ in $[n]$ is a $k$ term arithmetic progression whose elements have different colors. Conlon, Jungi'{c} and Radoiv{c}i'{c} cite{conlon} prove that there exists an equinumerous 4-coloring of $[4n]$ which is rainbow AP(4) free, when $n$ is even. Based on their construction, we show that such a coloring of $[4n]$...
متن کاملFaulhaber’s Theorem for Arithmetic Progressions
Abstract. We show that the classical Faulhaber’s theorem on sums of odd powers also holds for an arbitrary arithmetic progression, namely, the odd power sums of any arithmetic progression a + b, a + 2b, . . . , a + nb is a polynomial in na+ n(n+ 1)b/2. The coefficients of these polynomials are given in terms of the Bernoulli polynomials. Following Knuth’s approach by using the central factorial...
متن کاملDiscrepancy of Sums of two Arithmetic Progressions
Estimating the discrepancy of the hypergraph of all arithmetic progressions in the set [N ] = {1, 2, . . . , N} was one of the famous open problems in combinatorial discrepancy theory for a long time. An extension of this classical hypergraph is the hypergraph of sums of k (k ≥ 1 fixed) arithmetic progressions. The hyperedges of this hypergraph are of the form A1 + A2 + . . . + Ak in [N ], wher...
متن کاملDiscrepancy of Sums of Three Arithmetic Progressions
The set system of all arithmetic progressions on [n] is known to have a discrepancy of order n1/4. We investigate the discrepancy for the set system S3 n formed by all sums of three arithmetic progressions on [n] and show that the discrepancy of S3 n is bounded below by Ω(n1/2). Thus S3 n is one of the few explicit examples of systems with polynomially many sets and a discrepancy this high.
