... class of solutions given by Theorem 1. In the latter case, it follows that a = b = 1. Thus, we seek integers s such that 5s 2 + 2 is a perfect square. We further claim that no such integers exist. The two claims can be shown to follows from the general theory of the so-called Pell equation (see, for ...

... Combinatorial arguments are used to establish these results; hence, it would be helpful to recall that S(n, k) counts the number of ways to partition a set of n elements into k nonempty subsets. The first main result is Theorem 1: Let r = (r1?..., rm) be an /w-tuple of positive integers, and let N b ...

... – Case 2 . We show that if x2 is even then x must be even . We use an indirect proof: Assume x is not even and show x2 is not even. If x is not even then it must be odd. So, x = 2k + 1 for some k. Then x2 = (2k+1) 2 = 2(2k 2+2k)+1 which is odd and hence not even. This completes the proof of the seco ...

... Now let D be any divisor of x2 + x - 1 (except 1) and assume D divides wn for some n. Since, by (4), D does not divide kp, we see that D divides wn_x. It is now obvious, by induction, that all the terms of {wn} are divisible by D. Similarly, if there exists one wn that is not divisible by D, then th ...
