We consider Diophantine quintuples $\{a, b, c, d, e\}$. These are sets of distinct positive integers, the product of any two elements of which is one less than a perfect square. It is conjectured that there are no Diophantine quintuples; we…

A rational Diophantine triple is a set of three nonzero rational a,b,c with the property that ab+1, ac+1, bc+1 are perfect squares. We say that the elliptic curve y^2 = (ax+1)(bx+1)(cx+1) is induced by the triple {a,b,c}. In this paper, we…

For a nonzero rational number $q$, a rational $D(q)$-$n$-tuple is a set of $n$ distinct nonzero rationals $\{a_1, a_2, \dots, a_n\}$ such that $a_ia_j+q$ is a square for all $1 \leqslant i < j \leqslant n$. We investigate for which $q$…

For an element $r$ of a ring $R$, a Diophantine $D(r)$ $m$-tuple is an $m$-tuple $(a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_m)$ of elements of $R$ such that for all $i,j$ with $i\neq j$, $a_ia_j+r$ is a perfect square in $R$. In this article, we compute and…

A famous problem posed by Diophantus was to find sets of distinct positive rational numbers such that the product of any two is one less than a rational square. Such Diophantine sets have been used to construct high rank elliptic curves.…

Let $(a_1,\dots, a_m)$ be an $m$-tuple of positive, pairwise distinct, integers. If for all $1\leq i< j \leq m$ the prime divisors of $a_ia_j+1$ come from the same fixed set $S$, then we call the $m$-tuple $S$-Diophantine. In this note we…

Suppose $n$ is the fundamental discriminant associated with a quadratic extension of $\mathbb{Q}$. We show that for every Diophantine $m$-tuple $ \{t_1, t_2, \ldots, t_m\} $ with the property $ D(n) $, there exists integral ideals $…

Using the theory of Diophantine m-tuples, i.e. sets with the property that the product of its any two distinct elements increased by 1 is a perfect square, we construct an elliptic curve over Q(t) of rank at least 4 with three non-trivial…

A set of positive integers with the property that the product of any two of them is the successor of a perfect square is called Diophantine $D(-1)$--set. Such objects are usually studied via a system of generalized Pell equations naturally…

Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field and $ \mathcal{O}_K$ be its ring of integers. A set $\{a_1, a_2, \cdots,a_m\} \subset \mathcal{O}_K\setminus\{0\}$ is called a Diophantine $m$-tuple in $\mathcal{O}_K$ with $D(-1)$ if $a_ia_j -1 =…

We prove that there exist infinitely many rationals a, b and c with the property that a^2-1, b^2-1, c^2-1, ab-1, ac-1 and bc-1 are all perfect squares. This provides a solution to a variant of the problem studied by Diophantus and Euler.

Diophantine quadruples are sets of four distinct positive integers such that the product of any two is one less than a square. All known examples belong to an infinite set which can be constructed recursively. Some observations on these…

Given a finite set of primes $S$ and a $m$-tuple $(a_1,\dots,a_m)$ of positive, distinct integers we call the $m$-tuple $S$-Diophantine, if for each $1\leq i < j\leq m$ the quantity $a_ia_j+1$ has prime divisors coming only from the set…

Let $k\geq 2$ and $n\neq 0$. A Diophantine tuple with property $D_k(n)$ is a set of positive integers $A$ such that $ab+n$ is a $k$-th power for all $a,b\in A$ with $a\neq b$. Such generalizations of classical Diophantine tuples have been…

Let $n$ be a non-zero integer. A set $S$ of positive integers is a Diophantine tuple with the property $D(n)$ if $ab+n$ is a perfect square for each $a,b \in S$ with $a \neq b$. It is of special interest to estimate the quantity $M_n$, the…

For an integer n, a set of m distinct nonzero integers {a_1,a_2,...,a_m} such that a_i a_j+n is a perfect square for all 0<i<j<m+1, is called a D(n)-m-tuple. In this paper, we show that there are infinitely many essentially different…

The problem of finding all possible extensions of a given rational diophantine quadruple to a rational diophantine quintuple is equivalent to the determination of the set of rational points on a certain curve of genus 5 that can be written…

We show that for infinitely many square-free integers q there exist infinitely many triples of rational numbers {a, b, c} such that a^2 + q, b^2 + q, c^2 + q, ab + q, ac + q and bc + q are squares of rational numbers.

We use a new argument to improve the error term in the asymptotic formula for the number of Diophantine $m$-tuples in finite fields, which is due to A. Dujella and M.Kazalicki (2021) and N. Mani and S. Rubinstein-Salzedo (2021).

In this paper, we give an upper bound on the number of extensions of a triple to a quadruple for the Diophantine $m$-tuples with the property $D(4)$. We also confirm the conjecture of the uniqueness of such an extension in some special…
