Abstract

In this paper, first, we prove that the Diophantine system f(z)=f(x)+f(y)=f(u)f(v)=f(p)f(q)f(z)=f(x)+f(y)=f(u)-f(v)=f(p)f(q) has infinitely many integer solutions for f(X)=X(X+a)f(X)=X(X+a) with nonzero integers a0,1,4(mod5)a\equiv 0,1,4\pmod{5}. Second, we show that the above Diophantine system has an integer parametric solution for f(X)=X(X+a)f(X)=X(X+a) with nonzero integers aa, if there are integers m,n,km,n,k such that {(n2m2)(4mnk(k+a+1)+a(m2+2mnn2))0(mod(m2+n2)2),(m2+2mnn2)((m22mnn2)k(k+a+1)2amn)0(mod(m2+n2)2),\begin{cases} \begin{split} (n^2-m^2) (4mnk(k+a+1) + a(m^2+2mn-n^2)) &\equiv0\pmod{(m^2+n^2)^2},\\ (m^2+2mn-n^2) ((m^2-2mn-n^2)k(k+a+1) - 2amn) &\equiv0 \pmod{(m^2+n^2)^2}, \end{split} \end{cases} where k0(mod4)k\equiv0\pmod{4} when aa is even, and k2(mod4)k\equiv2\pmod{4} when aa is odd. Third, we get that the Diophantine system f(z)=f(x)+f(y)=f(u)f(v)=f(p)f(q)=f(r)f(s)f(z)=f(x)+f(y)=f(u)-f(v)=f(p)f(q)=\frac{f(r)}{f(s)} has a five-parameter rational solution for f(X)=X(X+a)f(X)=X(X+a) with nonzero rational number aa and infinitely many nontrivial rational parametric solutions for f(X)=X(X+a)(X+b)f(X)=X(X+a)(X+b) with nonzero integers a,ba,b and aba\neq b. At last, we raise some related questions.
