The stronger Diophantine quadruple conjecture

About 11 years old · traced to

A Diophantine mm-tuple is a set of mm distinct positive integers {a1,…,am}\{a_1,\dots,a_m\} such that aiaj+1a_i a_j+1 is a perfect square for every pair of distinct indices i,ji,j. Let {a,b,c,d}\{a,b,c,d\} be a Diophantine quadruple and define

d+=d=a+b+c+2abc+2(ab+1)(ac+1)(bc+1).d_+=d=a+b+c+2abc+2\sqrt{(ab+1)(ac+1)(bc+1)}.

Stronger Diophantine quadruple conjecture. If {a,b,c,d}\{a,b,c,d\} is a Diophantine quadruple and d>max⁡{a,b,c}d>\max\{a,b,c\}, then d=d+d=d_+.

The source presents this as a stronger version of the conjecture that no Diophantine quintuple exists. Its resolution status is not specified and remains open.
