Diophantine

Diophantine equations

The word “Diophantine” comes with the name Diophantus, a mathematician lived in the great city of Alexandria sometime around 250 AD. Often referred to as the “father of Algebra”, Diophantus in his famous work “Arithmetica” presented 150 problems that marked the early beginnings of number theory, the field of study about integers and their properties. Diophantine equations play a central and an important part in number theory.

We call a “Diophantine equation” to an equation of the form, \(f(x_1, x_2, \ldots x_n) = 0\) where \(n \geq 2\) and \(x_1, x_2, \ldots x_n\) are integer variables. If we can find \(n\) integers \(a_1, a_2, \ldots a_n\) such that \(x_1 = a_1, x_2 = a_2, \ldots x_n = a_n\) satisfies the above equation, we say that the equation is solvable. You can read more about Diophantine equations in [1] and [2].

Currently, following five types of Diophantine equations can be solved using diophantine() and other helper functions of the Diophantine module.

• Linear Diophantine equations: \(a_1x_1 + a_2x_2 + \ldots + a_nx_n = b\).
• General binary quadratic equation: \(ax^2 + bxy + cy^2 + dx + ey + f = 0\)
• Homogeneous ternary quadratic equation: \(ax^2 + by^2 + cz^2 + dxy + eyz + fzx = 0\)
• Extended Pythagorean equation: \(a_{1}x_{1}^2 + a_{2}x_{2}^2 + \ldots + a_{n}x_{n}^2 = a_{n+1}x_{n+1}^2\)
• General sum of squares: \(x_{1}^2 + x_{2}^2 + \ldots + x_{n}^2 = k\)

Module structure

This module contains diophantine() and helper functions that are needed to solve certain Diophantine equations. It’s structured in the following manner.

• diophantine()
  • diop_solve()
    • classify_diop()
    • diop_linear()
    • diop_quadratic()
    • diop_ternary_quadratic()
    • diop_ternary_quadratic_normal()
    • diop_general_pythagorean()
    • diop_general_sum_of_squares()
    • diop_general_sum_of_even_powers()
  • merge_solution()

When an equation is given to diophantine(), it factors the equation(if possible) and solves the equation given by each factor by calling diop_solve() separately. Then all the results are combined using merge_solution().

diop_solve() internally uses classify_diop() to find the type of the equation(and some other details) given to it and then calls the appropriate solver function based on the type returned. For example, if classify_diop() returned “linear” as the type of the equation, then diop_solve() calls diop_linear() to solve the equation.

Each of the functions, diop_linear(), diop_quadratic(), diop_ternary_quadratic(), diop_general_pythagorean() and diop_general_sum_of_squares() solves a specific type of equations and the type can be easily guessed by it’s name.

Apart from these functions, there are a considerable number of other functions in the “Diophantine Module” and all of them are listed under User functions and Internal functions.

Tutorial

First, let’s import the highest API of the Diophantine module.

>>> from sympy.solvers.diophantine import diophantine

Before we start solving the equations, we need to define the variables.

>>> from sympy import symbols
>>> x, y, z = symbols("x, y, z", integer=True)

Let’s start by solving the easiest type of Diophantine equations, i.e. linear Diophantine equations. Let’s solve \(2x + 3y = 5\). Note that although we write the equation in the above form, when we input the equation to any of the functions in Diophantine module, it needs to be in the form \(eq = 0\).

>>> diophantine(2*x + 3*y - 5)
set([(3*t_0 - 5, -2*t_0 + 5)])

Note that stepping one more level below the highest API, we can solve the very same equation by calling diop_solve().

>>> from sympy.solvers.diophantine import diop_solve
>>> diop_solve(2*x + 3*y - 5)
(3*t_0 - 5, -2*t_0 + 5)

Note that it returns a tuple rather than a set. diophantine() always return a set of tuples. But diop_solve() may return a single tuple or a set of tuples depending on the type of the equation given.

We can also solve this equation by calling diop_linear(), which is what diop_solve() calls internally.

>>> from sympy.solvers.diophantine import diop_linear
>>> diop_linear(2*x + 3*y - 5)
(3*t_0 - 5, -2*t_0 + 5)

If the given equation has no solutions then the outputs will look like below.

>>> diophantine(2*x + 4*y - 3)
set()
>>> diop_solve(2*x + 4*y - 3)
(None, None)
>>> diop_linear(2*x + 4*y - 3)
(None, None)

Note that except for the highest level API, in case of no solutions, a tuple of \(None\) are returned. Size of the tuple is the same as the number of variables. Also, one can specifically set the parameter to be used in the solutions by passing a customized parameter. Consider the following example:

>>> m = symbols("m", integer=True)
>>> diop_solve(2*x + 3*y - 5, m)
(3*m_0 - 5, -2*m_0 + 5)

For linear Diophantine equations, the customized parameter is the prefix used for each free variable in the solution. Consider the following example:

>>> diop_solve(2*x + 3*y - 5*z + 7, m)
(m_0, m_0 + 5*m_1 - 14, m_0 + 3*m_1 - 7)

In the solution above, m_0 and m_1 are independent free variables.

Please note that for the moment, users can set the parameter only for linear Diophantine equations and binary quadratic equations.

Let’s try solving a binary quadratic equation which is an equation with two variables and has a degree of two. Before trying to solve these equations, an idea about various cases associated with the equation would help a lot. Please refer [3] and [4] for detailed analysis of different cases and the nature of the solutions. Let us define \(\Delta = b^2 - 4ac\) w.r.t. the binary quadratic \(ax^2 + bxy + cy^2 + dx + ey + f = 0\).

When \(\Delta < 0\), there are either no solutions or only a finite number of solutions.

>>> diophantine(x**2 - 4*x*y + 8*y**2 - 3*x + 7*y - 5)
set([(2, 1), (5, 1)])

In the above equation \(\Delta = (-4)^2 - 4*1*8 = -16\) and hence only a finite number of solutions exist.

When \(\Delta = 0\) we might have either no solutions or parameterized solutions.

>>> diophantine(3*x**2 - 6*x*y + 3*y**2 - 3*x + 7*y - 5)
set()
>>> diophantine(x**2 - 4*x*y + 4*y**2 - 3*x + 7*y - 5)
set([(-2*t**2 - 7*t + 10, -t**2 - 3*t + 5)])
>>> diophantine(x**2 + 2*x*y + y**2 - 3*x - 3*y)
set([(t_0, -t_0), (t_0, -t_0 + 3)])

The most interesting case is when \(\Delta > 0\) and it is not a perfect square. In this case, the equation has either no solutions or an infinte number of solutions. Consider the below cases where \(\Delta = 8\).

>>> diophantine(x**2 - 4*x*y + 2*y**2 - 3*x + 7*y - 5)
set()
>>> from sympy import sqrt
>>> n = symbols("n", integer=True)
>>> s = diophantine(x**2 -  2*y**2 - 2*x - 4*y, n)
>>> x_1, y_1 = s.pop()
>>> x_2, y_2 = s.pop()
>>> x_n = -(-2*sqrt(2) + 3)**n/2 + sqrt(2)*(-2*sqrt(2) + 3)**n/2 - sqrt(2)*(2*sqrt(2) + 3)**n/2 - (2*sqrt(2) + 3)**n/2 + 1
>>> x_1 == x_n or x_2 == x_n
True
>>> y_n = -sqrt(2)*(-2*sqrt(2) + 3)**n/4 + (-2*sqrt(2) + 3)**n/2 + sqrt(2)*(2*sqrt(2) + 3)**n/4 + (2*sqrt(2) + 3)**n/2 - 1
>>> y_1 == y_n or y_2 == y_n
True

Here \(n\) is an integer. Although x_n and y_n may not look like integers, substituting in specific values for n (and simplifying) shows that they are. For example consider the following example where we set n equal to 9.

>>> from sympy import simplify
>>> simplify(x_n.subs({n: 9}))
-9369318

Any binary quadratic of the form \(ax^2 + bxy + cy^2 + dx + ey + f = 0\) can be transformed to an equivalent form \(X^2 - DY^2 = N\).

>>> from sympy.solvers.diophantine import find_DN, diop_DN, transformation_to_DN
>>> find_DN(x**2 - 3*x*y + y**2 - 7*x + 5*y - 3)
(5, 920)

So, the above equation is equivalent to the equation \(X^2 - 5Y^2 = 920\) after a linear transformation. If we want to find the linear transformation, we can use transformation_to_DN()

>>> A, B = transformation_to_DN(x**2 - 3*x*y + y**2 - 7*x + 5*y - 3)

Here A is a 2 X 2 matrix and B is a 2 X 1 matrix such that the transformation

\[\begin{split}\begin{bmatrix} X\\Y \end{bmatrix} = A \begin{bmatrix} x\\y \end{bmatrix} + B\end{split}\]

gives the equation \(X^2 -5Y^2 = 920\). Values of \(A\) and \(B\) are as belows.

>>> A
Matrix([
[1/10, 3/10],
[   0,  1/5]])
>>> B
Matrix([
[  1/5],
[-11/5]])

We can solve an equation of the form \(X^2 - DY^2 = N\) by passing \(D\) and \(N\) to diop_DN()

>>> diop_DN(5, 920)
[]

Unfortunately, our equation has no solution.

Now let’s turn to homogeneous ternary quadratic equations. These equations are of the form \(ax^2 + by^2 + cz^2 + dxy + eyz + fzx = 0\). These type of equations either have infinitely many solutions or no solutions (except the obvious solution (0, 0, 0))

>>> diophantine(3*x**2 + 4*y**2 - 5*z**2 + 4*x*y + 6*y*z + 7*z*x)
set([(0, 0, 0)])
>>> diophantine(3*x**2 + 4*y**2 - 5*z**2 + 4*x*y - 7*y*z + 7*z*x)
set([(-16*p**2 + 28*p*q + 20*q**2, 3*p**2 + 38*p*q - 25*q**2, 4*p**2 - 24*p*q + 68*q**2)])

If you are only interested in a base solution rather than the parameterized general solution (to be more precise, one of the general solutions), you can use diop_ternary_quadratic().

>>> from sympy.solvers.diophantine import diop_ternary_quadratic
>>> diop_ternary_quadratic(3*x**2 + 4*y**2 - 5*z**2 + 4*x*y - 7*y*z + 7*z*x)
(-4, 5, 1)

diop_ternary_quadratic() first converts the given equation to an equivalent equation of the form \(w^2 = AX^2 + BY^2\) and then it uses descent() to solve the latter equation. You can refer to the docs of transformation_to_normal() to find more on this. The equation \(w^2 = AX^2 + BY^2\) can be solved more easily by using the Aforementioned descent().

>>> from sympy.solvers.diophantine import descent
>>> descent(3, 1) # solves the equation w**2 = 3*Y**2 + Z**2
(1, 0, 1)

Here the solution tuple is in the order (w, Y, Z)

The extended Pythagorean equation, \(a_{1}x_{1}^2 + a_{2}x_{2}^2 + \ldots + a_{n}x_{n}^2 = a_{n+1}x_{n+1}^2\) and the general sum of squares equation, \(x_{1}^2 + x_{2}^2 + \ldots + x_{n}^2 = k\) can also be solved using the Diophantine module.

>>> from sympy.abc import a, b, c, d, e, f
>>> diophantine(9*a**2 + 16*b**2 + c**2 + 49*d**2 + 4*e**2 - 25*f**2)
set([(70*t1**2 + 70*t2**2 + 70*t3**2 + 70*t4**2 - 70*t5**2, 105*t1*t5, 420*t2*t5, 60*t3*t5, 210*t4*t5, 42*t1**2 + 42*t2**2 + 42*t3**2 + 42*t4**2 + 42*t5**2)])

function diop_general_pythagorean() can also be called directly to solve the same equation. Either you can call diop_general_pythagorean() or use the high level API. For the general sum of squares, this is also true, but one advantage of calling diop_general_sum_of_squares() is that you can control how many solutions are returned.

>>> from sympy.solvers.diophantine import diop_general_sum_of_squares
>>> eq = a**2 + b**2 + c**2 + d**2 - 18
>>> diophantine(eq)
set([(0, 0, 3, 3), (0, 1, 1, 4), (1, 2, 2, 3)])
>>> diop_general_sum_of_squares(eq, 2)
set([(0, 0, 3, 3), (1, 2, 2, 3)])

The sum_of_squares() routine will providean iterator that returns solutions and one may control whether the solutions contain zeros or not (and the solutions not containing zeros are returned first):

>>> from sympy.solvers.diophantine import sum_of_squares
>>> sos = sum_of_squares(18, 4, zeros=True)
>>> next(sos)
(1, 2, 2, 3)
>>> next(sos)
(0, 0, 3, 3)

Simple Eqyptian fractions can be found with the Diophantine module, too. For example, here are the ways that one might represent 1/2 as a sum of two unit fractions:

>>> from sympy import Eq, S
>>> diophantine(Eq(1/x + 1/y, S(1)/2))
set([(-2, 1), (1, -2), (3, 6), (4, 4), (6, 3)])

User Functions

This functions is imported into the global namespace with from sympy import *:

diophantine()

sympy.solvers.diophantine.diophantine(eq, param=t, syms=None)

Simplify the solution procedure of diophantine equation eq by converting it into a product of terms which should equal zero.

For example, when solving, \(x^2 - y^2 = 0\) this is treated as \((x + y)(x - y) = 0\) and \(x + y = 0\) and \(x - y = 0\) are solved independently and combined. Each term is solved by calling diop_solve().

Output of diophantine() is a set of tuples. The elements of the tuple are the solutions for each variable in the the equation and are arranged according to the alphabetic ordering of the variables. e.g. For an equation with two variables, \(a\) and \(b\), the first element of the tuple is the solution for \(a\) and the second for \(b\).

Solves \(ax^2 + by^2 = m\) where \(\gcd(a, b) = 1 = gcd(a, m)\) and \(a, b > 0\).

Uses the algorithm due to Cornacchia. The method only finds primitive solutions, i.e. ones with \(\gcd(x, y) = 1\). So this method can’t be used to find the solutions of \(x^2 + y^2 = 20\) since the only solution to former is \((x, y) = (4, 2)\) and it is not primitive. When \(a = b\), only the solutions with \(x \leq y\) are found. For more details, see the References.

Uses brute force to solve the equation, \(x^2 - Dy^2 = N\).

Mainly concerned with the generalized Pell equation which is the case when \(D > 0, D\) is not a perfect square. For more information on the case refer [R451]. Let \((t, u)\) be the minimal positive solution of the equation \(x^2 - Dy^2 = 1\). Then this method requires \(\sqrt{\frac{\mid N \mid (t \pm 1)}{2D}}\) to be small.

[(3, 1), (-3, 1), (36, 10)]
>>> diop_bf_DN(986, 1)
[(49299, 1570)]

Usage

diop_bf_DN(D, N, t): D and N are coefficients in \(x^2 - Dy^2 = N\) and t is the parameter to be used in the solutions.

Details

D and N correspond to D and N in the equation. t is the parameter to be used in the solutions.

transformation_to_DN()

sympy.solvers.diophantine.transformation_to_DN(eq)

This function transforms general quadratic, \(ax^2 + bxy + cy^2 + dx + ey + f = 0\) to more easy to deal with \(X^2 - DY^2 = N\) form.

This is used to solve the general quadratic equation by transforming it to the latter form. Refer [R452] for more detailed information on the transformation. This function returns a tuple (A, B) where A is a 2 X 2 matrix and B is a 2 X 1 matrix such that,

Transpose([x y]) = A * Transpose([X Y]) + B

Examples

>>> from sympy.abc import x, y
>>> from sympy.solvers.diophantine import transformation_to_DN
>>> from sympy.solvers.diophantine import classify_diop
>>> A, B = transformation_to_DN(x**2 - 3*x*y - y**2 - 2*y + 1)
>>> A
Matrix([
[1/26, 3/26],
[   0, 1/13]])
>>> B
Matrix([
[-6/13],
[-4/13]])

A, B returned are such that Transpose((x y)) = A * Transpose((X Y)) + B. Substituting these values for \(x\) and \(y\) and a bit of simplifying work will give an equation of the form \(x^2 - Dy^2 = N\).

>>> from sympy.abc import X, Y
>>> from sympy import Matrix, simplify
>>> u = (A*Matrix([X, Y]) + B)[0] # Transformation for x
>>> u
X/26 + 3*Y/26 - 6/13
>>> v = (A*Matrix([X, Y]) + B)[1] # Transformation for y
>>> v
Y/13 - 4/13

Next we will substitute these formulas for \(x\) and \(y\) and do simplify().

>>> eq = simplify((x**2 - 3*x*y - y**2 - 2*y + 1).subs(zip((x, y), (u, v))))
>>> eq
X**2/676 - Y**2/52 + 17/13

By multiplying the denominator appropriately, we can get a Pell equation in the standard form.

>>> eq * 676
X**2 - 13*Y**2 + 884

If only the final equation is needed, find_DN() can be used.

Usage

transformation_to_DN(eq): where eq is the quadratic to be transformed.

find_DN()

sympy.solvers.diophantine.find_DN(eq)

This function returns a tuple, \((D, N)\) of the simplified form, \(x^2 - Dy^2 = N\), corresponding to the general quadratic, \(ax^2 + bxy + cy^2 + dx + ey + f = 0\).

Solving the general quadratic is then equivalent to solving the equation \(X^2 - DY^2 = N\) and transforming the solutions by using the transformation matrices returned by transformation_to_DN().

Usage

>>> from sympy.abc import a, b
>>> diop_general_sum_of_even_powers(a**4 + b**4 - (2**4 + 3**4))
set([(2, 3)])

Usage

partition()

sympy.solvers.diophantine.partition(n, k=None, zeros=False)

Returns a generator that can be used to generate partitions of an integer \(n\).

A partition of \(n\) is a set of positive integers which add up to \(n\). For example, partitions of 3 are 3, 1 + 2, 1 + 1 + 1. A partition is returned as a tuple. If k equals None, then all possible partitions are returned irrespective of their size, otherwise only the partitions of size k are returned. If the zero parameter is set to True then a suitable number of zeros are added at the end of every partition of size less than k.

zero parameter is considered only if k is not None. When the partitions are over, the last \(next()\) call throws the StopIteration exception, so this function should always be used inside a try - except block.

Examples

>>> from sympy.solvers.diophantine import partition
>>> f = partition(5)
>>> next(f)
(1, 1, 1, 1, 1)
>>> next(f)
(1, 1, 1, 2)
>>> g = partition(5, 3)
>>> next(g)
(1, 1, 3)
>>> next(g)
(1, 2, 2)
>>> g = partition(5, 3, zeros=True)

sum_of_powers()

sympy.solvers.diophantine.sum_of_powers(n, p, k, zeros=False)

Returns a generator for finding k-tuples of integers, \((n_{1}, n_{2}, . . . n_{k})\), such that \(n = n_{1}^p + n_{2}^p + . . . n_{k}^p\).

Examples

>>> from sympy.solvers.diophantine import power_representation

Represent 1729 as a sum of two cubes:

>>> f = power_representation(1729, 3, 2)
>>> next(f)
(1, 12)
>>> next(f)
(9, 10)

If the flag \(zeros\) is True, the solution may contain tuples with zeros; any such solutions will be generated after the solutions without zeros:

>>> list(power_representation(125, 2, 3, zeros=True))
[(3, 4, 10), (5, 6, 8), (0, 2, 11), (0, 5, 10)]

For even \(p\) the \(permute_sign\) function can be used to get all signed values:

>>> from sympy.utilities.iterables import permute_signs
>>> list(permute_signs((1, 12)))
[(1, 12), (-1, 12), (1, -12), (-1, -12)]

All possible signed permutations can also be obtained:

>>> from sympy.utilities.iterables import signed_permutations
>>> list(signed_permutations((1, 12)))
[(1, 12), (-1, 12), (1, -12), (-1, -12), (12, 1), (-12, 1), (12, -1), (-12, -1)]

Usage

power_representation(n, p, k, zeros): Represent non-negative number n as a sum of k p``th powers. If ``zeros is true, then the solutions is allowed to contain zeros.

sum_of_squares()

sympy.solvers.diophantine.sum_of_squares(n, k, zeros=False)

Return a generator that yields the k-tuples of nonnegative values, the squares of which sum to n. If zeros is False (default) then the solution will not contain zeros. The nonnegative elements of a tuple are sorted.

• If k == 1 and n is square, (n,) is returned.
• If k == 2 then n can only be written as a sum of squares if every prime in the factorization of n that has the form 4*k + 3 has an even multiplicity. If n is prime then it can only be written as a sum of two squares if it is in the form 4*k + 1.
• if k == 3 then n can be written as a sum of squares if it does not have the form 4**m*(8*k + 7).
• all integers can be written as the sum of 4 squares.
• if k > 4 then n can be partitioned and each partition can be written as a sum of 4 squares; if n is not evenly divisible by 4 then n can be written as a sum of squares only if the an additional partition can be written as as sum of squares. For example, if k = 6 then n is partitioned into two parts, the first being written as a sum of 4 squares and the second being written as a sum of 2 squares – which can only be done if the contition above for k = 2 can be met, so this will automatically reject certain partitions of n.

>>> list(sum_of_squares(25, 4))
[(1, 2, 2, 4)]

merge_solution

sympy.solvers.diophantine.merge_solution(var, var_t, solution)

This is used to construct the full solution from the solutions of sub equations.

For example when solving the equation \((x - y)(x^2 + y^2 - z^2) = 0\), solutions for each of the equations \(x - y = 0\) and \(x^2 + y^2 - z^2\) are found independently. Solutions for \(x - y = 0\) are \((x, y) = (t, t)\). But we should introduce a value for z when we output the solution for the original equation. This function converts \((t, t)\) into \((t, t, n_{1})\) where \(n_{1}\) is an integer parameter.

divisible

sympy.solvers.diophantine.divisible(a, b)

Returns \(True\) if a is divisible by b and \(False\) otherwise.

PQa

sympy.solvers.diophantine.PQa(P_0, Q_0, D)

Returns useful information needed to solve the Pell equation.

There are six sequences of integers defined related to the continued fraction representation of \(\frac{P + \sqrt{D}}{Q}\), namely {\(P_{i}\)}, {\(Q_{i}\)}, {\(a_{i}\)},{\(A_{i}\)}, {\(B_{i}\)}, {\(G_{i}\)}. PQa() Returns these values as a 6-tuple in the same order as mentioned above. Refer [R458] for more detailed information.

equivalent

sympy.solvers.diophantine.equivalent(u, v, r, s, D, N)

Returns True if two solutions \((u, v)\) and \((r, s)\) of \(x^2 - Dy^2 = N\) belongs to the same equivalence class and False otherwise.

Two solutions \((u, v)\) and \((r, s)\) to the above equation fall to the same equivalence class iff both \((ur - Dvs)\) and \((us - vr)\) are divisible by \(N\). See reference [R459]. No test is performed to test whether \((u, v)\) and \((r, s)\) are actually solutions to the equation. User should take care of this.

sympy.solvers.diophantine.sqf_normal(a, b, c, steps=False)

Return \(a', b', c'\), the coefficients of the square-free normal form of \(ax^2 + by^2 + cz^2 = 0\), where \(a', b', c'\) are pairwise prime. If \(steps\) is True then also return three tuples: \(sq\), \(sqf\), and \((a', b', c')\) where \(sq\) contains the square factors of \(a\), \(b\) and \(c\) after removing the \(gcd(a, b, c)\); \(sqf\) contains the values of \(a\), \(b\) and \(c\) after removing both the \(gcd(a, b, c)\) and the square factors.

The solutions for \(ax^2 + by^2 + cz^2 = 0\) can be recovered from the solutions of \(a'x^2 + b'y^2 + c'z^2 = 0\).

sympy.solvers.diophantine.reconstruct(A, B, z)

Reconstruct the \(z\) value of an equivalent solution of \(ax^2 + by^2 + cz^2\) from the \(z\) value of a solution of the square-free normal form of the equation, \(a'*x^2 + b'*y^2 + c'*z^2\), where \(a'\), \(b'\) and \(c'\) are square free and \(gcd(a', b', c') == 1\).
