Abstract

A set {a,b,c,d}\{a, b, c, d\} of four non-zero distinct polynomials in Z[i][X]\mathbb{Z}[i][X] is said to be a Diophantine D(4)D(4)-quadruple if the product of any two of its distinct elements increased by 4 is a square of some polynomial in Z[i][X]\mathbb{Z}[i][X]. In this paper we prove that every D(4)D(4)-quadruple in Z[i][X]\mathbb{Z}[i][X] is regular, or equivalently that the equation (a+bcd)2=(ab+4)(cd+4)(a+b-c-d)^2=(ab+4)(cd+4) holds for every D(4)D(4)-quadruple in Z[i][X]\mathbb{Z}[i][X].
