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} + \...

rational points of a hyperelliptic curve
I have the following hyperelliptic curve of genus $2$:
$$
y^2 = 561 x^6 - 41904 x^5 + 627264 x^4 + 11860992 x^3 - 197074944 x^2 + 124416^2
$$
I need to find all the rational points on this curve. ...

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 ...
