چکیده
Motivated by some earlier Diophantine works on triangular numbers by Ljunggren and Cassels, we consider similar problems for general polygonal numbers.

Diophantine quadruples and Fibonacci numbers
A Diophantine m-tuple is a set of m positive integers with the property that product of any two of its distinct elements is one less then a square. In this survey we describe some problems and results concerning Diophantine m-tuples and their connections with Fibonacci numbers.
متن کاملInhomogeneous Diophantine Approximation and Angular Recurrence for Polygonal Billiards
For a given rotation number we compute the Hausdorff dimension of the set of well approximable numbers. We use this result and an inhomogeneous version of Jarnik’s theorem to show strong recurrence properties of the billiard flow in certain polygons.
متن کاملOn 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 کاملOld and New Conjectured Diophantine Inequalities
The original meaning of diophantine problems is to find all solutions of equations in integers or rational numbers, and to give a bound for these solutions. One may expand the domain of coefficients and solutions to include algebraic integers, algebraic numbers, polynomials, rational functions, or algebraic functions. In the case of polynomial solutions, one tries to bound their degrees. Inequa...
متن کاملNormal numbers and Diophantine approximation
We begin by recalling some classical results on normal and nonnormal numbers. Then, we discuss the following general question. Take a property of Diophantine approximation (e.g., to be badly approximable by rational numbers, to be a Liouville number, etc.) and a property concerning the digits (e.g., to be normal, to lie in the middle third Cantor set, etc.), do there exist real numbers having b...
