%N Generalized Markoff numbers: union of numbers a, b, c, d satisfying the Markoff(4) equation a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + d^2 = 4*a*b*c*d.

%C a,b,c,d is a solution to a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + d^2 = 4*a*b*c*d if and only if 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d is a solution to a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + d^2 = a*b*c*d. - _Shanzhen Gao_, Sep 18 2013

%F If (a, b, c, d) satisfies Markoff(4) equation, then so does (a, b, c, 4abc - d) and 4abc - d = (a^2 + b^2 + c^2)/d.

%e Some solutions to Markoff(4) equation a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + d^2 = 4abcd are (1,1,1,1), (1,1,1,3), (1,1,3,11), (1,3,11,131), (3,11,131,17291), (1,1,11,41), (1,11,41,1803), (1,1,41,153), (1,3,131,1561), (1,11,131,5761), (1,1,153,571), (1,1,571,2131), (1,1,2131,7953), (1,3,1561,18601).
