Solutions for a diophantine system equations

154 Views Asked by At

Does there exist any integer solution for the diophantine system of equations below:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l} x^2=a^2+b^2-ab \\ y^2=a^2+b^2+ab \end{array} \right. ,$

Notice: I know that the two equations above are two similar ellipses with $x=y$ axis that transform to eachother by $\frac {\pi}{2}$ rotation angle, but unfortunately I'm not familiar enough with algebric geometry to solve this system.

Here for example I've find a solution for the first equation for $(x,a,b)=(7,8,3)$ by changing it to a simpler form $m(m+k)=n(n+2k)$ where $(x,a,b)=(n+k,m+k,m)$, but this solution doesn't hold in the second equation.

Now it is clear that we are searching for integer solutions of the intersection points of these two ellipses. two similarly rotated ellipses of two equations above for (x,y)=(7,9)

$$ \left( x^2 + xy + y^2 \right) \left( x^2 - xy + y^2 \right) = x^4 + x^2 y^2 + y^4 $$

Page 19 In Mordell's book Diophantine Equations includes a proof that the only solutions for $$ x^4 + x^2 y^2 + y^4 = z^2 \; , \; \gcd(x,y) = 1 $$ integers have either $x=0$ or $y=0$ and the other $\pm 1.$ This is formula (7'), given as an example of (7), that being
$$ x^4 + kx^2 y^2 + y^4 = z^2 \; , \; \gcd(x,y) = 1 $$ Chapter 4 is called Quartic Equations with only Trivial Solutions
