Abstract
The aim of this paper is to consider the extensibility of the Diophantine triple , where , and to prove that such a set cannot be extended to an irregular Diophantine quadruple. We succeed in that for some families of 's (depending on ). As corollary, for example, we prove that for prime, all Diophantine quadruples with are regular.
