Calling Sequence

ThueSolve(expr)

ThueSolve(expr, bound = b)

ThueSolve(expr, vars, bound = b)

Parameters

expr

-

Thue equation or Thue inequality

vars

-

set of two names

bound = b

-

(optional) keyword argument where b is a positive integer; defaults to 10

Description

• 

The ThueSolve function computes all the solutions to a Thue equation or inequality.

• 

Let fx,y be a binary form with integer coefficients and irreducible over the rationals. A binary form is a bivariate polynomial where every term has the same degree. Let m be an integer. A Thue equation has the form fx,y=m and a Thue inequality has the form fx,ym.

• 

If the degree of f is less than 3, then isolve is used to find the solutions. Otherwise, there exists a finite number of solutions and this command finds all solutions x,y given the constraint y10bound.
