Let $S$ be a set of primes. We call an $m$-tuple $(a_1,\ldots,a_m)$ of distinct, positive integers $S$-Diophantine, if for all $i\neq j$ the integers $s_{i,j}:=a_ia_j+1$ have only prime divisors coming from the set $S$, i.e. if all…

A set of $m$ distinct nonzero rationals $\{a_1, a_2,\ldots, a_m\}$ such that $a_i a_j+1$ is a perfect square for all $1\le i <j \le m$, is called a rational Diophantine $m$-tuple. If in addition, $a_i^2+1$ is a perfect square for $1\le i\le…

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…

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…

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 Diophantine $m$-tuple is a set $A$ of $m$ positive integers such that $ab+1$ is a perfect square for every pair $a,b$ of distinct elements of $A$. We derive an asymptotic formula for the number of Diophantine quadruples whose elements are…
