Abstract

Let n be a nonzero integer. A set of m distinct positive integers is called a D(n)-m-tuple if the product of any two of them increased by n is a perfect square. Let k be a prime number. In this paper we prove that the D(-k2)-triple {1,k2+1,k2+4} cannot be extended to a D(-k2)-quadruple if k≠3. And for k=3 we prove that if the set {1,10,13,d} is a D(-9)-quadruple, then d=45.
