Finding polynomial solutions to Pell's equation is of interest as such solutions sometimes allow the fundamental units to be determined in an infinite class of real quadratic fields. In this paper, for each triple of positive integers…

We describe a family of polynomials discovered via a particular recursion relation, which have connections to Chebyshev polynomials of the first and the second kind, and the polynomial version of Pell's equation. Many of their properties…

We consider the equation $P(Q(x_1,\ldots,x_\nu))=Q(P(x_1),\ldots,P(x_\nu))$ in polynomials over the field of complex numbers and prove that if ${\rm deg}(P)>1$, then it is only solvable in polynomials that are affinely conjugate to…

The classical Pell equation can be extended to the cubic case considering the elements of norm one in $Z[\sqrt[3]{r}]$, which satisfy $x^3 + r y^3 + r^2 z^3 - 3 r x y z = 1$. The solution of the cubic Pell equation is harder than the…

This article deals with the history of certain aspects of the Pell equation X$^2$ - D y$^2$ = 4. We briefly discuss explicit units, and then study the history of Legendre's equations ax$^2$ - b y$^2$ = 4 with ab=D.

In this paper, we find all the solutions of the Diophantine equation $P_\ell + P_m +P_n=2^a$, in nonnegative integer variables $(n,m,\ell, a)$ where $P_k$ is the $k$-th term of the Pell sequence $\{P_n\}_{n\ge 0}$ given by $P_0=0$, $P_1=1$…

For an integer $k\geq 2$, let $\{F^{(k)}_{n}\}_{n\geqslant 2-k}$ be the $ k$--generalized Fibonacci sequence which starts with $0, \ldots, 0,1$ (a total of $k$ terms) and for which each term afterwards is the sum of the $k$ preceding terms.…

In 1826 Abel started the study of the polynomial Pell equation $x^2-g(u)y^2=1$. Its solvability in polynomials $x(u), y(u)$ depends on a certain torsion point on the Jacobian of the hyperelliptic curve $v^2=g(u)$. In this paper we study the…

A class P_{n,m,p}(x) of polynomials is defined. The combinatorial meaning of its coefficients is given. Chebyshev polynomials are the special cases of P_{n,m,p}(x). It is first shown that P_{n,m,p}(x) may be expressed in terms of…
