Abstract

First, we consider the equation ax2by2+c=0ax^2 - by^2 + c = 0, with a,bNa,b \in N* and cZc \in Z*, which is a generalization of Pell's equation. Here, we show that: if this equation has an integer solution and abab is not a perfect square, then it has infinitely many integer solutions; in this case we find a closed expression for (xn,yn)(x_{n}, y_{n}), the general positive integer solution, by an original method. More, we generalize it for a Diophantine equation of second degree and with n variables of the form: i=1naixi2=b\sum_{i=1}^{n} a_{i}x_{i}^{2} = b.
