In this short survey paper we state the Büchi conjecture and discuss its relations with the Hilbert Tenth Problem. We give some generalizations of the conjecture, and include some numerical examples.
We make more accessible a neglected simple continued fraction based algorithm due to Lagrange, for deciding the solubility of in relatively prime integers , where , gcd 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 . As in that paper, we use a lemma on unimodular matrices that gives a much simpler proof than Lagrange’s for...
