    Diophantine triplets and the Pell sequence (English)
    0 references
    A Diophantine triplet is a set of three positive integers \((a,b,c)\) such that \(a < b< c\) and \(ab = 1, bc = 1, ac =1\) are integer squares. A diophantine quadruplet is defined in the same way. The aim is to construct several different infinite families of Diophantine triplets using elements of a Pell sequence. Then a general result which gives formulas for a doubly infinite family of Diophantine triples is shown. Finally, an infinite family of Diophantine quadruplets is produced.
