Homework Statement
given any linear diophantine equation in n-variables, is there a method to solve it
Homework Equations
the general diophantine equation is [tex] a_{0}x_0 + a_{1} x_{1} + a_{2} x_{2} +...+a_{j} x_{j} = N [/tex] j=1,2,3,...
and i suppose we should impose that the g.c.d of all the a(n) integers is 1 so the equation has a solution
The Attempt at a Solution
for the case j=1 and ax+by=c i know how to solve it but i would need a hand for the higher dimensional case , perhaps with an example in 4 o 5 variables solved i could obtain a general method thanks.
