    No full text
    The aim of this dissertation is to investigate the solutions of some Diophantine equations connected to linear recurrence sequences. We firstly study the integer solutions of Diophantine equations related to reciprocals and repdigits with linear recurrence sequences, respectively. Finally, we present techniques with which we can investigate the nontrivial integer solutions of equations of the form G(X,Y,Z):=AX^2+ BY^r+CZ^2 involving certain binary linear recurrence sequences.L

    The need of  the privacy for each person has encouraged cryptologists to create and modified  cryptosystems. However, the RSA cryptosystem is a secure public key cryptosystem, this paper focuses on modifying RSA cryptosystem by increasing the number of private keys. This modification can be applied over plaintext messages, plain matrices, however in this paper, I focuse on applying it particulary on matrices which are the corresponding matrices of images. A public key and private key are contained in this secure cryptosystem, and the security of its private key depends on the integer factorization problem. But, this only private key might be found by inspection. Therefore, this new modification gives the RSA cryptosystem a higher security, because it suggests a "k" number of distinct private keys. Therefore, this new modification makes the RSA cryptosystem more secure and a confidential public key cryptosystem

    summary:Let (Gn)n1(G_{n})_{n \geq 1} be a binary linear recurrence sequence that is represented by the Lucas sequences of the first and second kind, which are {Un}\{U_n\} and {Vn}\{V_n\}, respectively. We show that the Diophantine equation Gn=B(glm1)/(gl1)G_n=B \cdot (g^{lm}-1)/(g^{l}-1) has only finitely many solutions in n,mZ+n, m \in \mathbb {Z}^+, where g2g \geq 2, ll is even and 1Bgl11 \leq B \leq g^{l}-1. Furthermore, these solutions can be effectively determined by reducing such equation to biquadratic elliptic curves. Then, by a result of Baker (and its best improvement due to Hajdu and Herendi) related to the bounds of the integral points on such curves, we conclude the finiteness result. In fact, we show this result in detail in the case of Gn=UnG_n=U_n, and the remaining case can be handled in a similar way. We apply our result to the sequences of Fibonacci numbers {Fn}\{F_n\} and Pell numbers {Pn}\{P_n\}. Furthermore, with the first application we determine all the solutions (n,m,g,B,l)(n,m,g,B,l) of the equation Fn=B(glm1)/(gl1)F_n=B \cdot (g^{lm}-1)/(g^l-1), where 2g92 \leq g \leq 9 and l=1l=1

    summary:Consider the system x2ay2=bx^2-ay^2=b, P(x,y)=z2P(x,y)= z^2, where PP is a given integer polynomial. Historically, the integer solutions of such systems have been investigated by many authors using the congruence arguments and the quadratic reciprocity. In this paper, we use Kedlaya's procedure and the techniques of using congruence arguments with the quadratic reciprocity to investigate the solutions of the Diophantine equation 7X2+Y7=Z27X^2+Y^7=Z^2 if (X,Y)=(Ln,Fn)(X,Y)=(L_n,F_n) (or (X,Y)=(Fn,Ln)(X,Y)=(F_n,L_n)) where {Fn}\{F_n\} and {Ln}\{L_n\} represent the sequences of Fibonacci numbers and Lucas numbers respectively
