Fix [Formula: see text] and put [Formula: see text]. Improving on results of [M. Skałba, Products of disjoint blocks of consecutive integers which are powers, Colloq. Math. 98 (2003) 1–3], we prove the following. For a given [Formula: see text] and each [Formula: see text], there exists [Formula: see text] such that for any exponent [Formula: see text], there exist nonnegative integers [Formula: see text] satisfying the equation [Formula: see text] and inequalities: [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text]

Let A, B ⊆ {1, …, n}. For m ∈ Z, let rA,B(m) be the cardinality of the set of ordered pairs (a, b) ∈ A × B such that a + b = m. For t ≥ 1, denote by (A + B)t the set of the elements m for which rA, B(m) ≥ t. In this paper we prove that for any subsets A, B ⊆ {1, …, n} such that |A| + |B| ≥ (4n + 4t − 3)/3, the sumset (A + B)t contains a block of consecutive integers with the length at least |A| + |B| − 2t + 1, and that (a) for any two subsets A and B of {1, …, n} such that |A| + |B| ≥ (4n)/3, there exists an arithmetic progression of length n in A + B; (b) for any 2 ≤ r ≤ (4n − 1)/3, there exist two subsets A and B of {1, …, n} with |A| + |B| = r such that any arithmetic progression in A + B has the length at most (2n − 1)/3 + 1.

Consider the Diophantine equation yn=x+x(x+1)+⋯+x(x+1)⋯(x+k), where x, y, n, and k are integers. In 2016, a research article, entitled – ’power values of sums of products of consecutive integers’, primarily proved the inequality n= 19,736 to obtain all solutions (x,y,n) of the equation for the fixed positive integers k≤10. In this paper, we improve the bound as n≤ 10,000 for the same case k≤10, and for any fixed general positive integer k, we give an upper bound depending only on k for n.

For an integer n≯1 letP(n) be the largest prime factor of n. We prove that there are infinitely many triplets of consecutive integers with descending largest prime factors, that is P(n - 1) ≯P(n)≯P(n+1) occurs for infinitely many integers n.

The solution of the problem of finding such pairs of integers is not a thing of yesterday, as may be seen by consulting Hutton's translation of Ozanam's Recreations, i. pp. 46–8 (1814).
