[seqfan] Re: Finding numbers represented by indefinite binary quadratic forms

[apovolot at gmail.com]

It worked for me

x2 + 3 xy - 3 y2 - 15 = 0

X0 = 3
Y0 = 1

and also:
X0 = -3
Y0 = -1

and also:
X0 = -3
Y0 = -1

and also:
X0 = 3
Y0 = 1

and also:
X0 = 6
Y0 = 7

and also:
X0 = -6
Y0 = -7

and also:
X0 = -3
Y0 = -2

and also:
X0 = 3
Y0 = 2

and also:
X0 = 6
Y0 = -1

and also:
X0 = -6
Y0 = 1

and also:
X0 = 3
Y0 = 2

and also:
X0 = -3
Y0 = -2

Xn+1 = P Xn + Q Yn
Yn+1 = R Xn + S Yn

Xn+1 = P Xn + Q Yn
Yn+1 = R Xn + S Yn

P = 1
Q = 3
R = 1
S = 4

as well as

P = 4
Q = -3
R = -1
S = 1
