    PELL EQUATION inPELL EQUATION in BhaskaraBhaskara IIII

    Pells equation is a diophantine equation of the

    form:

    x,y Z, where n is a given natural number

    which is not a square. This equation is solve inpositive integer for x and y where always

    assume for given n is positive. Which we can

    also rewrite as:

    Solving Pell's EquationSolving Pell's EquationIdentity 1

    To aid in solving x-ny=1, the following identity

    is helpful:

    (b - na)(d - nc) = (bd s nac) - n(bc s ad)

    From this we see that ifb-na andd-nc are

    both.Then,

    (bd s nac) - n(bc s ad) = 1

    In other words, if(a,b) and(c,d) are solutions to

    Pell's equation then so are (bc s ad, bd s nac)

    Brahmagupta'sBrahmagupta's LemmaLemma((The Method of CompositionThe Method of Composition))

    If(a, b) and(c, d) are integer solutions of "Pell

    type equations" of the form

    na + k = b and nc + k' = d

    then (bc ad, bd nac) are both integersolutions of the "Pell type equation"

    nx + kk' = y

    Using the Methodof Composition, if(a,b)

    satisfies Pell's equation, then sodoes

    (2ab, b+na)Which is obtainedby composing

    (a,b) with itself.

    Solving Pell Equations usingSolving Pell Equations usingBrahmagupta'sBrahmagupta's MethodMethod

    From Brahmagupta's Lemma, if(a,b) is a

    solution to nx + k = y, then composing (a,b)

    with itself gives you(2ab, b+na) as a solution to

    nx + k = y,Anddividing through by k, so

    Then become,

    is a solution to the Pell Equation nx + 1 = y

    For most values of k this isn't helpful, becausex and y aren't integers, but when k is 1, 2,

    or, with a little more work,

    4, this idea helpsa whole lot.

    When k=2,

    Since (a,b) is a solution to nx + k = y, wehave

    So,

    (ab, b-1) is a solution to the related PellEquation nx + 1 = y.

    EXAMPLEEXAMPLE

    Solve 23x+1=y.Start by observing that a solution to the relatedPell type equation

    23x+2=y is (1,5), so(5,24) is a solution to

    23x+1=y.

    When k=-2,

    Since (a,b) is a solution to nx + k = y, we knowthat,

    The chakravala method is a cyclicalgorithm to solve inderteminate quadraticequations,including Pells equation forminimum integers xand y.

    This methodwas developed in India and itsroots can be tracedback to the 5th century,summarizedby Aryabhata, which was laterdeveloped further by Brahmagupta,Jayadeva and Bhaskara.

  • 8/7/2019 present asg 2(2)- math phylosphy

    14/78

    Jayadeva (9th century) and Bhaskara (12th

    century) offered the first complete solutionto this equation using the chakravalamethod

    This was not solved in Europe until the timeoflagrange in 1767. Lagrange's methodhowever, requires the calculation of 21successive convergents of the continuedfraction for the square root of 61, whilethe chakravala method is much simpler.

    This method is also contains traces of mathematicalinduction. Bhaskara II has discovered this cyclic

    method algorithm to produce a solution of Pells

    equation starting off from any close pair (a,b)

    For example:

    Then,

    Assume a, b and k are coprime.Then for any m, (1,m)

    satisfied the Pell equation

  • 8/7/2019 present asg 2(2)- math phylosphy

    16/78

    Observe that solution to nx2 +(m2-n) = y2

    is (1,m)

    e.g:

    7 x2+2= y2 is (1,3) because 2 = 32- 7

    Now suppose we are looking for a solution to

    nx2 + 1= y2 and we can find a close pair(a,b)

    that solves nx2 + k = y2.In other words, ax2 + k= b2

  • 8/7/2019 present asg 2(2)- math phylosphy

    17/78

    Now we compose (1,m) and (a,b) to see that

    (am+b, bm+na) is a solution to

    nx2 +(m2-n) = y2,

    In other words n(am+b)2+(m2-n)k=(bm+na)2.

    Dividing by k we see that

    ((am+b)/k ,(bm+na)/k) solves nx2+(m2-n)/k = y2

    Defined a congruent number as an integer that isequal to the area of a rational right triangle. Thediscovery that a right triangle of unit leg lengthhas an irrational hypotenuse (having a length

    equal to a value now known as Pythagoras'sconstant) showed that not all triangles arerational.

    It can be proved, using the inscribed circle, that

    the tangent of its half angles are rational numbers.

    A Heronian triangle is a triangle having rational

    side lengths andrational area.

    The simplest example of a Heronian triangle is aright triangle with ratioof sides 3:4:5. In fact, anyrational right triangle is a Heronian triangle.

    The triangles are so namedbecause such trianglesare related toHeron's formula .

    (1)

    Giving a triangle area in terms of its side lengths a,

    b,c andsemiperimeter, s= (a+b+c)/2 . Finding aHeronian triangle is therefore equivalent to solvingthe Diophantine equation

    A triangle with rational coordinates has

    rational area, and if the sides are rational,

    then the triangles is Heronian.

    Conversely, a Heronian triangles vertices canbe given rational coordinates. This is proven

    BHASKARAIIBHASKARAII

    Bhskara II (1114 1185) was a

    mathematician-astronomer whowrote anumber of important treatises, namely theSiddhanta Shiromani, Lilavati, Bijaganita,Gola Addhaya, Griha Ganitam andKaran

    Kautoohal. Was born near the Bijjada Bida ( now

    Bijapur district, Karnataka state, SouthIndia) in the Deshatha Brahmin family.

    Lived in Sahyadri, Western Maharashtra.

    Headof astronomicalobservatory at Ujjain,mathematical centre of ancient India.

    Also known as Bhaskara IIor asBhaskaracharya, this latter name meaning

    "Bhaskara the Teacher". Since he is known in India as Bhaskaracharya

    we will refer to him throughout this article bythat name. Bhaskaracharya's father was a

    Brahman named Mahesvara that is anastrologer. This happened frequently in Indiansociety with generations of a family beingexcellent mathematicians andoften acting as

    teachers toother family members. A number of his contributions were later

    transmitted to the Middle East and Europe.

    Given that he was building on theknowledge and understanding of

    Brahmagupta it is not surprising thatBhaskaracharya understood about zeroand negative numbers. However hisunderstanding went further even than that

    ofBrahmagupta. Examples, he knew that x2 = 9 had two

    solutions. He also gave the formula

    When p = 67 he found the solutions x=5967, y= 48842. He studiedmanyDiophantine problems.
