    On the intersection and the extendibility of \(P_t\)-sets (English)
    0 references
    For a fixed integer \(t\), a \(P_t\)-set of size \(n\) is a set \(S= \{x_1,x_2,\dots, x_n\}\) of distinct positive integers such that \(x_ix_j+t\) is a square of an integer whenever \(i\neq j\). A method is given for constructing \(P_t\)-sets whose intersection contains at least three elements. Also the extendibility of \(P_{-11}\) and \(P_{109}\) are studied. As well, a theorem on \(x_ix_j+t\) being twice a square is proved.
