Re: Diophantine equation
Hi Ronald;
I do not believe there is any solution to that in integers.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.

Re: Diophantine equation
Write as and treat it as a quadratic in . The discriminant is
So the equation has no real solutions in x (let alone integer ones).
