The regularity conjecture for Diophantine quadruples

From papers

Let {a,b,c,d}\{a,b,c,d\} be a Diophantine quadruple, meaning that each of ab+1ab+1, ac+1ac+1, ad+1ad+1, bc+1bc+1, bd+1bd+1, and cd+1cd+1 is a perfect square. Suppose that ab+1=r2ab+1=r^2, ac+1=s2ac+1=s^2, and bc+1=t2bc+1=t^2, and define

d+=a+b+c+2abc+2rst.d_+=a+b+c+2abc+2rst.

The regularity conjecture for Diophantine quadruples. If d>max{a,b,c}d>\max\{a,b,c\}, then d=d+d=d_+. All known Diophantine quadruples were regular when this conjecture was formulated, and the source describes it as a stronger version of the nonexistence theorem for Diophantine quintuples that remained open there.
