For $k\geq 2$ and a nonzero integer n, a generalised Diophantine m-tuple with property $D_k(n)$ is a set of m positive integers $S = \{a_1,a_2,\ldots , a_m\}$ such that $a_ia_j + n$ is a kth power for $1\leq i< j\leq m$. Define $M_k(n):= \text {sup}\{|S| : S$ having property $D_k(n)\}$. Dixit et al. [‘Generalised Diophantine m-tuples’, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 150(4) (2022), 1455–1465] proved that $M_k(n)=O(\log n)$, for a fixed k, as n varies. In this paper, we obtain effective upper bounds on $M_k(n)$. In particular, we show that for $k\geq 2$, $M_k(n) \leq 3\,\phi (k) \log n$ if n is sufficiently large compared to k.

Let $f:X\rightarrow X$ be a quasi-finite endomorphism of an algebraic variety $X$ defined over a number field $K$ and fix an initial point $a\in X$. We consider a special case of the Dynamical Mordell–Lang Conjecture, where the subvariety $V$ contains only finitely many periodic points and does not contain any positive-dimensional periodic subvariety. We show that the set $\{n\in \mathbb{Z}_{{\geqslant}0}\mid f^{n}(a)\in V\}$ satisfies a strong gap principle.

Suppose $a^{2}(a^{2}+1)$ divides $b^{2}(b^{2}+1)$ with $b>a$. We improve a previous result and prove a gap principle, without any additional assumptions, namely $b\gg a(\log a)^{1/8}/(\log \log a)^{12}$. We also obtain $b\gg _{\unicode[STIX]{x1D716}}a^{15/14-\unicode[STIX]{x1D716}}$ under the abc conjecture.
