Abstract

A rational Diophantine mm-tuple is a set {a1,,am}\{a_1,\ldots,a_m\} of distinct nonzero rational numbers such that aiaj+1a_i a_j+1 is a square for all 1i<jm1\leq i < j\leq m. Similarly, we may ask when aiaj+1a_ia_j+1 is a kk-th power. Here, we study the case k=4k=4 and produce some non-trivial infinite families of such triples. We show that there are infinitely many triples with positive elements for k=4k=4. We also briefly consider the k=6k=6 (sextic) and k=8k=8 (octic) cases, explaining the difficulties in extending the method to higher exponents.
