Perfect Cuboid and Congruent Number Equation Solutions
Abstract
A perfect cuboid (PC) is a rectangular parallelepiped with rational sides whose face diagonals , , and space (body) diagonal are rationals. The existence or otherwise of PC is a problem known since at least the time of Leonhard Euler. This research establishes equivalent conditions of PC by nontrivial rational solutions } and } of congruent number equation , where product is a square. By using such pair of solutions five parametrizations of nearly-perfect cuboid (NPC) (only one face diagonal is irrational) and five equivalent conditions for PC were found. Each parametrization gives all possible NPC. For example, by using one of them -- invariant parametrization for sides and diagonals of NPC are obtained: , , ,, , ; and condition of the existence of PC is the rationality of . Because each parametrization is complete, inverse problem is discussed. For given NPC is found corresponding congruent number equation (i.e. congruent number) and its solutions.
