Abstract
The Pell equation with non-square has infinitely many integer solutions, yet most research has centered on the asymptotic behavior of fundamental units as varies. By contrast, the exact distribution of solutions for a fixed within bounded regions has received little attention. In this paper, we contribute to this direction by giving an explicit enumeration of all solutions to the Pell equation inside the square for any . We further extend our results to the shifted Pell equation for integers and , obtaining exact counts for sufficiently large .
