How many works of Robert Silverberg's were based on Asimov's stories?

It's well known that Silverberg wrote novels based on some of Asimov's stories. For example, [The Child of Time](https://www.amazon.com/Child-Time-Isaac-Asimov/dp/0330325795) was based off of [The Ugly Little Boy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ugly_Little_Boy), and [Nightfall](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightfall_(Asimov_novelette_and_novel)) was based off the Asimov story of the same name.How many other (if any) novels/books/other works did Silverberg base off of Asimov stories?

You are right about 'Nightfall', and 'Ugly Little Boy'. There is a third novel, 'The Positronic Man'. Silverberg based that work on Asimov's short story 'Bicentennial Man' written in 1967. In total, I believe Silverberg based three of his novels on three of Asimov's stories.
