Representation of integers by sparse binary forms

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We will give new upper bounds for the number of solutions to the inequalities of the shape |F(x,y)|leqh, where F(x,y) is a sparse binary form, with integer coefficients, and h is a sufficiently small integer in terms of the absolute value of the discriminant of the binary form F. Our bounds depend on the number of non-vanishing coefficients of F(x,y). When F is really sparse, we establish a sharp upper bound for the number of solutions that is linear in terms of the number of non-vanishing coefficients. This work will provide affirmative answers to a number of conjectures posed by Mueller and Schmidt in 1988, for special but important cases.
