A quadratic diophantine equation is of form:

Ax^2 + Bxy + Cy^2 +Dx + Ey + F =0

Now, for A=0 and C=0,

Bxy + Dx + Ey + F=0 ...(1)

moreover there is one more condition, gcd(B,D,E)=1

So how do I find if some integral solution of (1) exists or not?
I am not interested in the solution itself, but rather just it's existence.

And the method must not depend on searching, as in the image here:

Thanks in advance for advice and ideas.

Well, it's very hard to know what EXACTLY you want, as you say that you want to know about the existence of an integral solution "without searching" (??), but in many instance one HAS to divide the problem in cases and check each, something you apparently don't want to do...
 
The equation is the standard equation for all conic sections in 2 dimensions. It seems very plausible that there are circles/parabolas/hyperbolas that have integer roots.
 
Thread 'Determine whether ##125## is a unit in ##\mathbb{Z_471}##'
This is the question, I understand the concept, in ##\mathbb{Z_n}## an element is a is a unit if and only if gcd( a,n) =1. My understanding of backwards substitution, ... i have using Euclidean algorithm, ##471 = 3⋅121 + 108## ##121 = 1⋅108 + 13## ##108 =8⋅13+4## ##13=3⋅4+1## ##4=4⋅1+0## using back-substitution, ##1=13-3⋅4## ##=(121-1⋅108)-3(108-8⋅13)## ... ##= 121-(471-3⋅121)-3⋅471+9⋅121+24⋅121-24(471-3⋅121## ##=121-471+3⋅121-3⋅471+9⋅121+24⋅121-24⋅471+72⋅121##...
##\textbf{Exercise 10}:## I came across the following solution online: Questions: 1. When the author states in "that ring (not sure if he is referring to ##R## or ##R/\mathfrak{p}##, but I am guessing the later) ##x_n x_{n+1}=0## for all odd $n$ and ##x_{n+1}## is invertible, so that ##x_n=0##" 2. How does ##x_nx_{n+1}=0## implies that ##x_{n+1}## is invertible and ##x_n=0##. I mean if the quotient ring ##R/\mathfrak{p}## is an integral domain, and ##x_{n+1}## is invertible then...
The following are taken from the two sources, 1) from this online page and the book An Introduction to Module Theory by: Ibrahim Assem, Flavio U. Coelho. In the Abelian Categories chapter in the module theory text on page 157, right after presenting IV.2.21 Definition, the authors states "Image and coimage may or may not exist, but if they do, then they are unique up to isomorphism (because so are kernels and cokernels). Also in the reference url page above, the authors present two...
