In this paper, we prove that F 22 = 17711 is the largest Fibonacci number whose decimal expansion is of the form a b … b c … c . The proof uses lower bounds for linear forms in three logarithms of algebraic numbers and some tools from Diophantine approximation.

AbstractIn this paper, by using lower bounds for linear forms in logarithms of algebraic numbers and the theory of continued fractions, we find all Fibonacci numbers that appear in generalized Pell sequences. Some interesting estimations involving generalized Pell numbers, that we believe are of independent interest, are also deduced. This paper continues a previous work that searched for Fibonacci numbers in the Pell sequence.

AbstractIn this paper, we establish a number of theorems on the classic Diophantine equation of S. S. Pillai, ax – by = c, where a, b and c are given nonzero integers with a, b ≥ 2. In particular, we obtain the sharp result that there are at most two solutions in positive integers x and y and deduce a variety of explicit conditions under which there exists at most a single such solution. These improve or generalize prior work of Le, Leveque, Pillai, Scott and Terai. The main tools used include lower bounds for linear forms in the logarithms of (two) algebraic numbers and various elementary arguments.

AbstractWe give several results concerning the simultaneous approximation of certain complex numbers. For instance, we give lower bounds for |a–ξo |+ | ea – ξ1 |, where a is any non-zero complex number, and ξ are two algebraic numbers. We also improve the estimate of the so-called Franklin Schneider theorem concerning | b – ξ | + | a – ξ | + | ab – ξ. We deduce these results from an estimate for linear forms in logarithms.

Hoping for a hand-shake between methods from diophantine approximation theory and transcendance theory, we show how zeros estimates from transcendance theory imply Roth's type lemmas (including the product theorem). We also formulate some strong conjectures on lower bounds for linear forms in logarithms of rational numbers with rational coefficients, inspired by the subspace theorem and which would imply, for example, the abc conjecture.

Abstract Let $$ (T_{n})_{n\ge 0} $$ ( T n ) n ≥ 0 be the sequence of Tribonacci numbers defined by $$ T_0=0 $$ T 0 = 0 , $$ T_1=T_2=1$$ T 1 = T 2 = 1 , and $$ T_{n+3}= T_{n+2}+T_{n+1} +T_n$$ T n + 3 = T n + 2 + T n + 1 + T n for all $$ n\ge 0 $$ n ≥ 0 . In this note, we use of lower bounds for linear forms in logarithms of algebraic numbers and the Baker-Davenport reduction procedure to find all Tribonacci numbers that are concatenations of two repdigits.

In this paper, we use Baker’s theory for nonzero linear forms in logarithms of algebraic numbers and a Baker-Davenport reduction procedure to find all repdigits (i.e., numbers with only one distinct digit in its decimal expansion, thus they can be seen as the easiest case of palindromic numbers, which are a ”symmetrical” type of numbers) that can be written in the form Fn+Tn, for some n≥1, where (Fn)n≥0 and (Tn)n≥0 are the sequences of Fibonacci and Tribonacci numbers, respectively.

AbstractWe prove a result in the area of twisted Diophantine approximation related to the theory of Schmidt games. In particular, under certain restrictions we give an affirmative answer to the analogue in this setting of a famous conjecture of Schmidt from Diophantine approximation.

AbstractA central problem motivated by Diophantine approximation is to determine the size properties of subsets of$\R^d$ ($d\in\N$)of the formwhere ‖⋅‖ denotes an arbitrary norm,Ia denumerable set, (xi,ri)i∈ Ia family of elements of$\R^d\$× (0, ∞) and ϕ a nonnegative nondecreasing function defined on [0, ∞). We show that ifFId, where Id denotes the identity function, has full Lebesgue measure in a given nonempty open subsetVof$\R^d\$, the setFϕbelongs to a class Gh(V) of sets with large intersection inVwith respect to a given gauge functionh. We establish that this class is closed under countable intersections and that each of its members has infinite Hausdorffg-measure for every gauge functiongwhich increases faster thanhnear zero. In particular, this yields a sufficient condition on a gauge functiongsuch that a given countable intersection of sets of the formFϕhas infinite Hausdorffg-measure. In addition, we supply several applications of our results to Diophantine approximation. For any nonincreasing sequenceψof positive real numbers converging to zero, we investigate the size and large intersection properties of the sets of all points that areψ-approximable by rationals, by rationals with restricted numerator and denominator and by real algebraic numbers. This enables us to refine the analogs of Jarník's theorem for these sets. We also study the approximation of zero by values of integer polynomials and deduce several new results concerning Mahler's and Koksma's classifications of real transcendental numbers.
