Questions tagged [diophantine-equations]
Diophantine equations are polynomial equations $F=0$, or systems of polynomial equations $F_1=\ldots=F_k=0$, where $F,F_1,\ldots,F_k$ are polynomials in either $\mathbb{Z}[X_1,\ldots,X_n]$ of $\mathbb{Q}[X_1,\ldots,X_n]$ of which it is asked to find solutions over $\mathbb{Z}$ or $\mathbb{Q}$.

Empirical observations on the sum of reciprocal minimum exponents in the prime factorization of coprime triples
Let $h(n)$ be the function that returns the minimum exponent in the prime factorization of $n$. We adopt the convention $h(1) = \infty$, so $1/h(1) = 0$.
According to the abc conjecture, there should ...
