On some matrix diophantine equations
Let $A \in M_n(\mathbf{C})$, $n \ge 2$ be the matrix which has at least one real eigenvalue $\alpha \in (0, 1)$. If the matrix equation \begin{equation} A^x + A^y + A^z = A^w \tag{1} \end{equation} is satisfied in positive integers $x$, $y$, $z$, $w$, then $\max \{x-w, y-w, z-w\} \ge …
