Keywords:
Ternary quadratic , integer solutions, figurate numbers, homogeneous quadratic, polygonal number, pyramidal number.Abstract
The ternary homogeneous quadratic equation given by 2 2 2 4 2 ) 3(x z xy y representing a cone is analyzed for its non-zero distinct integer solutions. A few interesting relations between the solutions and special polygonal and pyramidal numbers are presented. Also, given a solution, formula for generating a sequence of solutions based on the given solution is presented.
