On primitive Pythagorean triples of special forms

Number Theory 2021-02-10 v2

Abstract

We explore primitive Pythagorean triples of special forms (a,b,b+g)(a,b,b+g) and (a,a+f,c)(a,a+f,c), with g,fZ+g,f\in\mathbb{Z}^+. For each gg and ff, we provide a method to generate infinitely many such primitive triples. Lastly, for each gg, we describe the asymptotic density of primitive (a,b,b+g)(a,b,b+g) triples within all primitive triples of the same parity.
