Numbers with three close factorizations and central lattice points on hyperbolas
Tsz Ho Chan
In this paper, we continue the study of three close factorizations of an integer and correct a mistake of a previous result. This turns out to be related to lattice points close to…

Close points on a modular hyperbola
Tsz Ho Chan
In this paper, we continue the study of small squares containing at least two points on a modular hyperbola . We deduce a lower bound for its side length. We…

A note on three consecutive powerful numbers
Tsz Ho Chan
This note concerns the non-existence of three consecutive powerful numbers. We use Pell equations, elliptic curves, and second-order recurrences to show that there are no such trip…
