Abstract

This short paper is concerned with polynomial Pell equations P2DQ2=1,P^2-DQ^2=1, with P,Q,DC[X]P,Q,D\in\Bbb C[X] and deg(D)=2{deg}(D)=2. The main result shows that the polynomials PP and QQ are closely related to Chebyshev polynomials. We then investigate the existence of such polynomials in Z[X]\Bbb Z[X] specializing to fixed solutions of ordinary Pell equations over the integers.
