Origin: Named after Diophantus of Alexandria (3rd century AD), who introduced symbolism into algebra and wrote Arithmetica.

Slide 12: Unsolved Problems

• Brocard’s problem: (n! + 1 = m^2) (only known n=4,5,7).
• Beal’s conjecture: If (A^x + B^y = C^z) with (x,y,z > 2), then A,B,C share a common prime factor.
• Existence of integer points on certain high-degree curves.

1. Basic definitions and examples

• Diophantine equation: An equation F(x1, x2, ..., xn) = 0 with integer coefficients where solutions are integers (or sometimes rationals).
• Linear Diophantine equation: ax + by = c. Solutions exist iff gcd(a,b) divides c. General solution: x = x0 + (b/d)t, y = y0 - (a/d)t where d = gcd(a,b) and t ∈ Z.
• Pell’s equation: x^2 - Dy^2 = 1 for non-square positive integer D. Infinitely many integer solutions arise from continued fraction expansions of √D.
• Pythagorean triples: x^2 + y^2 = z^2. Primitive solutions: x = m^2 - n^2, y = 2mn, z = m^2 + n^2 for coprime m>n of opposite parity.
