A number which is simultaneously a nonagonal number N_m and octagonal number O_n and therefore satisfies the Diophantine equation 1/2m(7m-5)=n(3n-2). (1) Completing the ...

A number which is simultaneously a nonagonal number N_m and pentagonal number P_n and therefore satisfies the Diophantine equation 1/2m(7m-5)=1/2n(3n-1). (1) Completing the ...

A number which is simultaneously a nonagonal number N_m and a square number S_n and therefore satisfies the Diophantine equation 1/2m(7m-5)=n^2. (1) Completing the square and ...

A number which is simultaneously a nonagonal number N_m and a triangular number T_n and therefore satisfies the Diophantine equation. 1/2m(7m-5)=1/2n(1+n). (1) Completing the ...

The Diophantine equation sum_(j=1)^(m-1)j^n=m^n. Erdős conjectured that there is no solution to this equation other than the trivial solution 1^1+2^1=3^1, although this ...

In 1913, Ramanujan asked if the Diophantine equation of second order 2^n-7=x^2, sometimes called the Ramanujan-Nagell equation, has any solutions other than n=3, 4, 5, 7, and ...
