The Indian Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics invited the author to write a paper around his mathematical contributions centering about the themes stated in the title. Let me cite from the text: ``Both general and special Diophantine equations have been considered. The most famous example of Diophantine equations is the equation of Fermat but there are several others with a long history. The present article contains an account of some of these like equations of Catalan, Erdős and Selfridge and its extensions, Goormaghtigh, Nagell-Ljunggren, Pillai, Ramanujan-Nagell, Thue and Thue-Mahler and it may be of interest to a general reader. We prove that certain equations have only finitely many solutions and sometimes we determine all the solutions in which case computational ideas are also required and they have been carried out on a computer. Combinatorial arguments and elementary number theory form a basis for several contributions and very little prerequisites are required. Thus the work may be read by the ones not necessarily experts and it may be of interest to non number-theorists. The author provides an excellent survey on these topics and provides two lists of references: a list of references (of other authors) (100 items) and a list of his own publications and with coauthors (117 items).
