Proving $\sum_{i=1}^{n}\sum_{j=1}^{n}\left\{\frac{x_{i}}{x_{j}}\right\}\le \frac{9}{14}n^2$?

For any postive integer $n$ and for any postive real numbers $x_{1},x_{2},\cdots,x_{n}$, show that $$\sum_{i=1}^{n}\sum_{j=1}^{n}\left\{\dfrac{x_{i}}{x_{j}}\right\}\le \dfrac{9}{14}n^2$$ Let \begin{al …

Solve this Diophantine equation $(2^x-1)(3^y-1)=2z^2$

Find the positive integers $(2^x-1)(3^y-1)=2z^2$ have three solutions $$(1,1,1),(1,2,2),(1,5,11)$$I already know $(2^x-1)(3^y-1)=z^2$ has no solution. See: P.G.Walsh December 2006 [On Diophantine equ …

Find all solution $a,b,c$ with $(1-a^2)(1-b^2)(1-c^2)=8abc$

Two years ago, I made a conjecture on stackexchange: Today, I tried to find all solutions in integers $a,b,c$ to $$(1-a^2)(1-b^2)(1-c^2)=8abc,\quad a,b,c\in \mathbb{Q}^{+}.$$ I have found some sol …

On the conjecture : $|m^2-n^3|>\frac{1}{5}\sqrt[6]{m^2+n^3}$

Let $m,n$ be positive integers, such that $m^2\neq n^3$. I conjecture the inequality $$|m^2-n^3|>\dfrac{1}{5}\sqrt[6]{m^2+n^3}.$$ I've tried a lot of numbers, and they all seem to work, but how do I …

Find all solution $a,b,c$ with $(1-a^2)(1-b^2)(1-c^2)=8abc$

@Allan methods it's nice! here is my answer: since $$\left(\dfrac{1-a^2}{2a}\right)\left(\dfrac{1-b^2}{2b}\right)\left(\dfrac{1-c^2}{2c}\right)=1$$ so let $$\dfrac{x}{y}=\dfrac{1-a^2}{2a},\;\dfrac{y}{ …

Show this number always is composite number

Conjecture: Let $m$ be a positive integer. Then $$f(m)=(2m)^{2m+1}+m^{2m+1}\cdot (2m+1)^m+(2m+1)^{2m}$$ is not a prime number. One can prove it when $m$ is odd number, it is clear that $f(m) …

Is there a simple proof that $Ax^3+By^3=C$ has only finitely many integer solutions

One can use Thue's 1909 result to show that the Diophantine equation $Ax^3 + By^3 = C$ ($A,B$ not perfect cubes, $C\neq 0$) has finitely many integer solutions $(x,y)$. But does there exist a simple w …
