$x^2 + 3xy + y^2 = n$ Diophantine Equation












2












$begingroup$


I was wondering if someone could direct me towards information regarding the $x^2 + 3xy +y^2 = n$ diophantine equation. Additionally, is there anything about the general case of these diophantine equations in the form $x^{2k} + 3x^ky^k + y^{2k} = n$?

    That's $(2x+3y)^2-5y^2=4n$, so a generalised Pell equation.

    While I was looking for solutions to the generalized Pell equation, I encountered solutions to equations such as $x^2 - Dy^2 = pm 4$ if $D equiv 1 pmod{4}$. The solutions to this diophantine equation are given by: $frac{x+ysqrt{5}}{2} = pm left( frac{x_0 + y_0 sqrt{D}}{2} right)^k$. How can this be extrapolated to solve the case where $x^2 - Dy^2 = 4n$?

I recommend Conways's topograph method. Here is the diagram for $u^2 + uv - v^2,$ which is "equivalent" to your form, which is reduced in Zagier's style.
