Comments

Fermat gave the smallest solution (a, d, b, c) = (156, 1343, 1517, 1525). Viola found the second smallest, using elliptic curves. See Aigner's zbMATH reviews.

Example

1453978915260300^2 + 7518954988589021^2 = 7658246457672229^2;
(7518954988589021 - 1453978915260300)^2 - 2*1453978915260300^2 = 5705771236038721^2. - Bruno Berselli, Jun 27 2020
