摘要
For any fixed odd prime p, let N(p) denote the number of positive integer solutions (x, y) of the equation y^2 = px(x^2 + 2). In this paper, using some properties of binary quartic Diophantine equations, we prove that ifp ≡ 5 or 7(mod 8), then N(p) = 0; ifp ≡ 1(mod 8), then N(p) 〈 1; if p〉 3 andp ≡ 3(rood 8), then N(p) ≤ 2.
