Unique extension conjecture for Diophantine quadruples
Unique extension conjecture for Diophantine quadruples
Let be a Diophantine quadruple of integers, meaning that the product of any two distinct elements increased by is a square of an integer, and suppose that . Define
Unique extension conjecture. Then .
Every Diophantine triple of integers is known to have the extension , and the conjecture asserts that this is the unique extension larger than all three elements. It remains open; it has been proved for particular triples, including , whose unique extension is .
