This thesis consists of three chapters. Chapter 1 explains how the research problems considered in this thesis fit into the investigation of local-global principle in the diophantine geometry, as well as gives a unified sketch of the proofs of the two main results in this thesis. Chapter 2 establishes a similar conclusion to Theorem B of a paper by Poonen and Voloch in another settings. Chapter 3 relates to the object considered in the main result of Chapter 2 to an old conjecture proposed by Skolem and solves some cases of its analog. / text
