Small solutions of $x^2-a^3 y^2=\pm 1$
We are interested in small integer solutions to the Pell equation:
$$x^2-a^3 y^2=\pm 1 \qquad (1)$$
Where in $\pm 1$ you can chose either sign.
$(x^2,a^3 y^2)$ are consecutive powerful numbers.
$abc$ ...

On $\sum_{k=1}^nk^3 = x^3 + y^3$ with $x,y \ge 1$
My question is related to https://oeis.org/A269839.
It is well-known that there are parametric families of solutions for cubes that are sums of consecutive cubes: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1603.08901.pdf. ...

A question about integer triples
How can we generate all integer solutions of the equation
$$(qr+rp+pq)(x^2+y^2+z^2) = (p^2+q^2+r^2)(yz+zx+xy),$$
given that $p,q,r$ are integers?
Clearly if any one of $(x,y,z), (x,z,y), (y,z,x), (...

Catalan numbers, Pochhammer symbols, Stirling numbers of the second kind, and sums of aliquot parts
For integers $N\geq 1$ we define $$s(N)=\sigma(N)-N$$ the aliquot sum function, where $\sigma(N)=\sum_{1\leq d|N}d$ is the sum of divisors function.
Here $(x)_n$ is the Pochhammer symbol and ${a\...

Additive combinatorics and a Diophantine equation
Let $(n_k)_{1 \leq k \leq N}$ be a sequence of distinct positive integers. For $v \in \mathbb{Z}$ set
$$
A_N(v) = \# \Big\{ (k,\ell) \in \{1, \dots, N\}^2, ~k \neq \ell:\quad n_k - n_\ell = v \Big\}.
