Abstract

Let aa and b=kab=ka be positive integers with k{2,3,6},k\in \{2, 3, 6\}, such that ab+4ab+4 is a perfect square. In this paper, we study the extensibility of the D(4)D(4)-pairs {a,ka}.\{a, ka\}. More precisely, we prove that by considering three families of positive integers cc depending on a,a, if {a,b,c,d}\{a, b, c, d\} is the set of positive integers which has the property that the product of any two of its elements increased by 44 is a perfect square, then dd in given by d=a+b+c+12(abc±(ab+4)(ac+4)(bc+4)).d=a+b+c+\frac{1}{2}\left(abc\pm \sqrt{(ab+4)(ac+4)(bc+4)}\right). As a corollary, we prove that any D(4)D(4)-quadruple which contains the pair {a,ka}\{a, ka\} is regular.
