对于不定方程Пk=1^n(k^2+1)=a·m^2,J.Cilleruelo证明了当a=1时,当且仅当n=3方程有解.证明了当a=5和7时,此方程无解;当a=17时,方程只有唯一解;还证明了一般情形,当a满足(a,17×101×1297×739601)=1且a的最大素因子p(a)≤2×738740时,当n〉3,方程无解.
For the diophantine equation Пk=1^n(k^2+1)=a·m^2, recently J. Cilleruelo ( J. Number Theory, 2008,128 ( 6 ) : 2488- 2491. ) proved that when a = 1, the equation has a solution if and only if n = 3. In this paper, we prove that when a = 5 and a = 7, this equation has no solution; when a = 17, the equation has only one solution. We also consider the general situation, and prove that when n 〉3, ifa satisfies the condition (a,17 × 101 × 1 297 ×739 601) = 1 and the largest prime factor of a is no larger than 2 × 738 740, then this equation has no solution.
