COMMENTS

The case x congruent to 0 mod b or b congruent to 0 mod x is frequent (e.g. A120212). Note that the triads a = 3 b = 4 c = 5 and a = 4 b = 3 c = 5 provide a different result for (x, y).

The natural solution is y = c * b * (c-b) and x = b * (c-b) with c hypotenuse in the triad - Giorgio Balzarotti (greenblue(AT)tiscali.it), Jul 19 2006

EXAMPLE

First primitive Pythagorean triad: 3, 4, 5

Weierstrass equation. y^2 = x*( 3^2 -x)*( 4^2 + x)

Smallest integer solution (x, y) = (4,20)

First element in the sequence y = 20

MAPLE

flag :=1; x:=0; # a, b, c primitive Pythagorean triad while flag =1 do x:=x+1; y2:= x*( a^2 - x)*(x+b^2); if ((floor(sqrt(y2)))^2=y2)then print( sqrt(y2)); flag :=0; fi; od;
