Is there any way to find non-trivial solutions to the equation $x^2 + y^2 - x \equiv 0 \mod{N}$? There are clearly several trivial solutions, for example $(x, y) = (0, 0), (1, 0), (2^{-1}, 2^{-1}), (2^...

Let $n$ be integer with unknown factorization. Assume factoring $n$ is inefficient. Let $a,b,c$ satisfy $a^2+b^2 \equiv c^2 \bmod{n}, 0 \le a,b,c \le n-1$. Is it possibly to lift the above ...

I am interested in systems of linear modular equations, where the unknowns also appear in the moduli. The general form would be: $A \vec{x}= \vec{b} \;\textrm{mod} \; (C \vec{x}+\vec{d})$ where A ...

Erdős and his coauthors often wrote about problems relating to the densities of sets of multiples. I have a computational question about the same topic. I have a finite* set $A=a_1<\cdots<a_r$ ...
