Does there exist an infinite number of positive integer triplets (x,y,z) with x < y < z such that:
x, y and z describe an arithmetic sequence, and:
Each of xy+1, yz+1 and zx+1 is a perfect square?
Give reasons for your answer.
Starting with Jer's three solutions, I note that the z = 2y-x.
Also that x = previous y/2 and y = previous z*2
That makes the next few solutions of this form
x y z
1 8 15
4 30 56
15 112 209
56 418 780
209 1560 2911
780 5822 10864
2911 21728 40545
10864 81090 151316
40545 302632 564719
151316 1129438 2107560
564719 4215120 7865521
2107560 15731042 29354524
I have generated these using Excel and checked using Excel that these are all valid solutions. And the first column is OEIS
A001353
Thanks for the start, Jer.
