Abstract

Let nn be a nonzero integer. A set of mm positive integers is called a D(n)D(n)-mm-tuple if the product of any two of its distinct elements increased by nn is a perfect square. Let kk be a positive integer. By elementary means, we show that the D(8k2)D(-8k^2)-pair {8k2,8k2+1}\{8k^2, 8k^2+1\} can be extended to at most a quadruple (the third and fourth element can only be 11 and 32k2+132k^2+1). At the end, we suggest considering a D(k2)D(-k^2)-triple {1,2k2,2k2+2k+1}\{ 1, 2k^2, 2k^2+2k+1\} as possible future research direction.
