Understanding Diophantine Equations

What are Diophantine Equations?

Diophantine equations are polynomial equations that require integer solutions.

Key Properties

  • Linear Form: ax + by = c
  • Bézout's Identity: gcd(a,b) = ax + by
  • Solution Existence: c must be divisible by gcd(a,b)
  • General Solution: x = x₀ + (b/d)t, y = y₀ - (a/d)t
  • where d = gcd(a,b) and t is an integer
