On the Diophantine equation x² - dy⁴ = 1 with prime discriminant II

D. Poulakis, P. G. Walsh (2006)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let p denote a prime number. P. Samuel recently solved the problem of determining all squares in the linear recurrence sequence {Tₙ}, where Tₙ and Uₙ satisfy Tₙ² - pUₙ² = 1. Samuel left open the problem of determining all squares in the sequence {Uₙ}. This problem was recently solved by the authors. In the present paper, we extend our previous joint work by completely solving the equation Uₙ = bx², where b is a fixed positive squarefree integer. This result also extends previous work...

Diophantine equations after Fermat’s last theorem

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

These are expository notes that accompany my talk at the 25th Journées Arithmétiques, July 2–6, 2007, Edinburgh, Scotland. I aim to shed light on the following two questions: Given a Diophantine equation, what information can be obtained by following the strategy of Wiles’ proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem? ...
