Yuan's conjecture on simultaneous Pell equations with multiple solutions
Yuan's conjecture on simultaneous Pell equations with multiple solutions
Let be positive integer coefficients, and consider the system
For positive integers and , define
and let satisfy
Yuan's conjecture. If this system has at least two solutions in positive integers, then its coefficients are given by
or by equivalent forms.
The conjecture gives a classification of the exceptional simultaneous Pell systems that can have multiple positive-integer solutions; the paper presents it as a reformulation by Cipu and Mignotte of a conjecture of Yuan. The supplied text does not establish its resolution status.
