The condition that 1+xy be a square is the bilinear form of the unit circle. We recall the circular parametrization of rational Diophantine tuples from the firs
A rational almost Diophantine septuple is a set of seven distinct nonzero rationals such that $xy+1$ is a square for twenty of the twenty-one pairs. All example
A rational Diophantine septuple is a set of seven nonzero rationals with 1 + xy a square for every pair; none is known. We study the same condition for members
Two nonzero rationals meet in one of four ways, $1\pm xy=\pm\square$, and their product lies in one of four bands cut out by $-1$, $0$ and $1$; of the sixteen c
For rational numbers write d(1,xy) = |1-xy|. A set of rationals in which d(1,xy) is a nonzero square for every pair is a mixed set: the same thing as a Diophant
