Abstract

A set \(\{a, b, c, d\}\) of four non-zero distinct polynomials in \(\mathbb{Z}[i][X]\) is said to be a Diophantine \(D(4)\)-quadruple if the product of any two of its distinct elements increased by 4 is a square of some polynomial in \(\mathbb{Z}[i][X]\).
In this paper we prove that every \(D(4)\)-quadruple in \(\mathbb{Z}[i][X]\) is regular, or equivalently that the equation
\[
(a+b-c-d)^2=(ab+4)(cd+4)\hspace{20ex}
\]
holds for every \(D(4)\)-quadruple in \(\mathbb{Z}[i][X]\).
