In mathematics, a diophantine ''m''-tuple is a set of ''m'' positive integers such that is a perfect square for any .〔 Diophantus himself found the set of rationals which has the property that each is a rational square.〔 More recently, sets of six positive rationals have been found. The first diophantine quadruple was found by Fermat: .〔 It was proved in 1969 by Baker and Davenport 〔 that a fifth positive integer cannot be added to this set. However, Euler was able to extend this set by adding the rational number .〔 No (integer) diophantine quintuples are known, and it is an open problem whether any exist.〔 Dujella has shown that at most a finite number of diophantine quintuples exist. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Diophantine quintuple」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
