Abstract
We determine all integers n such that n2 has at most three base-q digits for q ε (2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 16). More generally, we show that all solutions to equations of the shape where q is an odd prime, n > m > 0 and t2, πMπ,N < q, either arise from "obvious" polynomial families or satisfy m ≤ 3. Our arguments rely upon Padé approximants to the binomial function, considered q-adically.
