Congruence and Uniqueness of Certain Markoff Numbers
نویسنده
چکیده
By making use of only simple facts about congruence, we first show that every even Markoff number is congruent to 2 modulo 32, and then establish the uniqueness for those Markoff numbers c where one of 3c − 2 and 3c + 2 is a prime power, 4 times a prime power, or 8 times a prime power.

An Elementary Proof of Uniqueness of Markoff Numbers Which Are Prime Powers
We present a very elementary proof of the uniqueness of Markoff numbers which are prime powers or twice prime powers, in the sense that it uses neither algebraic number theory nor hyperbolic geometry.

We present a very elementary proof of the uniqueness of Markoff numbers which are prime powers, in the sense that it uses nothing on algebraic number theory or hyperbolic geometry.
متن کاملA Simple Proof of the Markoff Conjecture for Prime Powers
We give a simple and independent proof of the result of Jack Button and Paul Schmutz that the Markoff conjecture on the uniqueness of the Markoff triples (a, b, c) where a ≤ b ≤ c holds whenever c is a prime power.
متن کاملOn the Uniqueness Conjecture for Markoff Triples
ν(θ) = inf{c : |θ − p/q| < c/q for infinitely many reduced fractions p/q}. The set of values {νi} of the Markoff function in the range ν(θ) > 1/3 is called the Markoff spectrum [7], which is a denumerable infinite set and νi ↓ 1/3. An other definition of the Markoff spectrum uses the integer solutions of the Diophantine equation x + y + z = 3xyz. (1) A solution (x, y, z) to this equation with 0...
متن کاملCombinatorial Interpretations for the Markoff Numbers
In this paper we generalize the concept of Markoff numbers with the construction of Markoff polynomials. We then present a combinatorial model based on a family of recursively-defined graphs which we call snakes, such that the Markoff polynomials and Markoff numbers are respectively weighted and unweighted enumerators of the perfect matchings of snakes. We have found four proofs of the central ...
