Abstract

In this paper, we mainly answer a Lampe's question\cite{lampe} about the solutions of a Diophantine equation, that is, we give a criterion to determine which solutions of the Diophantine equation are in the orbit of the initial solution (ϵ,ϵ,ϵ,ϵ,ϵ)(\epsilon,\epsilon,\epsilon, \epsilon,\epsilon) under the actions of the group GG which is defined by mutations of a cluster algebra. In order to do this, using a rational map φ\varphi, we transform the Diophantine equation to a related equation whose all positive integral solutions form the orbit of an initial solutions φ(ϵ,ϵ,ϵ,ϵ,ϵ)=(3,4,4)\varphi(\epsilon,\epsilon,\epsilon, \epsilon,\epsilon) = (3,4,4) under the actions of the group G~\widetilde{G}, and the set S(3,4,4)S(3,4,4) is shown to be the orbit of (ϵ,ϵ,ϵ,ϵ,ϵ)(\epsilon,\epsilon,\epsilon, \epsilon,\epsilon) under the actions of a subgroup of GG. Then the criterion is proved as the main conclusion.
