Abstract

In this note we show that the system of equations t_{x}+t_{y}=t_{p},\quad t_{y}+t_{z}=t_{q},\quad t_{x}+t_{z}=t_{r}, where tx=x(x+1)/2t_{x}=x(x+1)/2 is a triangular number, has infinitely many solutions in integers. Moreover we show that this system has rational three-parametric solution. Using this result we show that the system t_{x}+t_{y}=t_{p},\quad t_{y}+t_{z}=t_{q},\quad t_{x}+t_{z}=t_{r},\quad t_{x}+t_{y}+t_{z}=t_{s} has infinitely many rational two-parametric solutions.
