A.
Lebesgue–Nagell equation
The Lebesgue–Nagell equation is a Diophantine equation of the form \(x^2 + D = y^n\) (with fixed integers \(D\) and \(n \ge 3\)) studied in number theory for its finite and often explicitly determinable set of integer solutions.
-
B.
Diophantine equations
Diophantine equations are polynomial equations for which only integer or rational solutions are sought, forming a central and often notoriously difficult area of number theory.
-
C.
Ramanujan–Nagell equation
The Ramanujan–Nagell equation is a famous Diophantine equation in number theory that has only finitely many integer solutions and is closely associated with the work of Srinivasa Ramanujan.
