We consider the diophantine equation (*)    xp - x = yq - y in integers (x, p, y, q). We prove that for given p and q with 2 ≤ p < q, (*) has only finitely many solutions. Assuming the abc-conjecture we can prove that p and q are bounded. In the special case p = 2 and y a prime power we are able to solve (*) completely.

We make more accessible a neglected simple continued fraction based algorithm due to Lagrange, for deciding the solubility of a x 2 + b x y + c y 2 = N in relatively prime integers x , y , where N 0 , gcd ( a , b , c ) = gcd ( a , N ) = 1 et D = b 2 - 4 a c > 0 is not a perfect square. In the case of solubility, solutions with least positive y, from each equivalence class, are also constructed. Our paper is a generalisation of an earlier paper by the author on the equation x 2 - D y 2 = N . As in that paper, we use a lemma on unimodular matrices that gives a much simpler proof than Lagrange’s...
