It is a generalization of Pell's equation $x^2-Dy^2=0$. Here, we show that: if our Diophantine equation has a particular integer solution and $ab$ is not a perfect square, then the equation has an infinite number of solutions; in this case we find a close expression for $(x_n,y_n)$, the general positive integer solution, by an original method. More, we generalize it for any Diophantine equation of second degree and with two unknowns $f(x,y)=0$.

First, we consider the equation $ax^2 - by^2 + c = 0$, with $a,b \in N*$ and $c \in Z*$, which is a generalization of Pell's equation. Here, we show that: if this equation has an integer solution and $ab$ is not a perfect square, then it has infinitely many integer solutions; in this case we find a closed expression for $(x_{n}, y_{n})$, the general positive integer solution, by an original method. More, we generalize it for a Diophantine equation of second degree and with n ...

In this short note we study the existence and number of solutions in the set of integers ($Z$) and in the set of natural numbers ($N$) of Diopahntine Equations of second degree with two variables of the general form $ax^2-by^2=c$.

Let $a,b,c $ be any positive integers such that $c\mid ab$ and $d_i^\pm$ is a square free positive integer of the form $d_i^\pm=a^{2k} b^{2l}\pm i c^m$ where $k,l \geq m$ and $i=1,2.$ The main focus of this paper to find the fundamental solution of the equation $ x^2-d_i^\pm y^2=1$ with the help of the continued fraction of $\sqrt{d_i^\pm}.$ We also obtain all the positive solutions of the equations $ x^2-d_i^\pm y^2=\pm 1$ and $ x^2-d_i^\pm y^2=\pm 4$ by means of the Fibonac...

On propose une m\'ethode de r\'esolution effective de l'\'equation diophantienne $(E_2): ax^2-by^2=1$ o\`u $a$ et $b$ sont des entiers naturels non nuls et premiers entre eux. Cette m\'ethode s'appuie sur le d\'eveloppement en fraction continu\'ee de certains nombres irrationnels quadratiques que l'on d\'ecrit compl\`etement. On commence par utiliser ces d\'eveloppements pour r\'esoudre certaines \'equations de Pell-Fermat g\'en\'eralis\'ees avant d'appliquer \`a l'\'equation...

We propose a method to determine the solvability of the diophantine equation $x^2-Dy^2=n$ for the following two cases: $(1)$ $D=pq$, where $p,q\equiv 1 \mod 4$ are distinct primes with $(\frac{q}{p})=1$ and $(\frac{p}{q})_4(\frac{q}{p})_4=-1$. $(2)$ $D=2p_1p_2... p_m$, where $p_i\equiv 1 \mod 8,1\leq i\leq m$ are distinct primes and $D=r^2+s^2$ with $r,s \equiv \pm 3 \mod 8$.

We prove that for given integers b and c, the diophantine equation x^2+bx+c=y^2, has finitely many integer solutions(i.e. pairs in ZxZ),in fact an even number of such solutions(including the zero or no solutions case).We also offer an explicit description of the solution set. Such a description depends on the form of the integer b^2-4c. Some Corollaries do follow. Furthermore, we show that the said equation has exactly two integer solutions, precisely when b^2-4c= 1,4,16,-4,o...

We present in this article a general approach (in the form of recommendations and guidelines) for tackling Diophantine equation problems (whether single equations or systems of simultaneous equations). The article should be useful in particular to young "mathematicians" dealing mostly with Diophantine equations at elementary level of number theory (noting that familiarity with elementary number theory is generally required).

On the coordinate plane, the slopes $a,$ $b$ of two straight lines and the slope $c$ of one of their angle bisectors satisfy the equation $(a-c)^2(b^2+1) = (b-c)^2(a^2+1).$ Recently, an explicit formula for non-trivial integral solutions of this equation with solutions of negative Pell's equations was discovered by the author. In this article, for a given square-free integer $d > 1$ and a given integer $z > 1,$ we describe every integral solution $(x,y)$ of $|x^2-dy^2| = z$ s...

In this paper we present a new method of solving certain quartic and higher degree homogeneous polynomial diophantine equations in four variables. The method can also be extended to solve simultaneous homogeneous polynomial diophantine equations, in five or more variables, with one of the equations being of degree $\geq 4$. We show that, under certain conditions, the method yields an arbitrarily large number of integer solutions of such diophantine equations and diophantine s...
