AI Thread Summary
Finding integer solutions for the function (x^2-R)/(P-2x)=y involves determining integer values of x that yield integer y values, with constraints on x being between the square root of R and P/2. The equivalent equation x^2 + Px + R = y suggests y must be a perfect square, leading to the condition that sqrt(x^2 + Px + R) must also be an integer. Given the large values of P and R, a brute force approach or a generalized equation may be necessary to explore potential solutions. Additional insights into the properties of P and R, such as whether P^2 - 4R is a square, could help identify Pythagorean triplet solutions. Overall, more information about the parameters is essential for effective solution finding.

Is there a quick way to find integer values of x that give integer values for y?

(x^2-R)/(P-2x)=y

sqrt(R) rounded down<x<P/2

an equivalent equation is

x^2+Px+R=y y= a perfect square

sqrt(x^2+Px+R)= integer

P and R are integer values. They are very large.
P=1.720901664588208977632751606930114527882871349707453690712637328347852193783039275682367157744911327176901e+106

R=1.611966555644167779663503662738501807226651661942209780569274299995114404468640924608971613224013135298666e+105

Maybe a generalized equation or a program?

You could search for it in a brute force approach. Otherwise we probably need more information about ##P,R##, e.g. if ##P^2-4R## is a square in which case we have Pythagorean triplets as solutions, or the prime factor decomposition of them.
 

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
