Estimating the size of solutions of a diophantine equation

A. Is there natural numbers $a,b,c$ such that $\frac{a}{b+c} + \frac{b}{a+c} + \frac{c}{a+b}$ is equal to an odd natural number ? (I do not know any such numbers). B. Suppose that $\frac{a}{b+c} + \...

An elliptic curve for Ramanujan-type cubic identities?

Given the roots $x_i$ of the depressed cubic, $$x^3+px+q=0$$ with rational coefficients. It can be shown that, in general, one can find rational $u,v$ such that, $$(u-x_1)^{1/3}+ (u-x_2)^{1/3}+ (u-...

Why are some solutions of these diophantine equations off the usual patterns?

This is inspired by a recent question about complete multipartite integral graphs. I am wondering if more can be said about tripartite integral graphs with block sizes $a<b<c$. It is easy to see ...
