How to find all solutions for Pell's equation $x^2 - Dy^2 = -1$ after the first $x_0$ and $y_0$?

Question

How to find all solutions for Pell's equation $x^2 - Dy^2 = -1$ after the first $x_0$ and $y_0$?
for example if we have $x^2 - 2 y^2 = -1$ then the smallest integer solution for $(x,y) = (1,1)$
How to build on this to get the rest of the solutions ?

Answer 1

You mean $x^2-2y^2=-1$. The answer is, take odd powers of $x_0+y_0\sqrt D$. If such a power is $a+b\sqrt D$, then $a^2-Db^2=-1$.
