How to describe all integer solutions to $x^2+y^2=3z^2+1$?

The question is in the title. Here is a short motivation. The general quadratic Diophantine equation is $$ x^TAx+bx+c=0, $$ where $x$ is a vector of $n$ variables, $A$ is $n \times n$ matrix with inte …

Polynomial parametrization for solutions of quadratic Diophantine equations

A previous Mathoverflow question asks if there is an algorithm that would determine all integer solutions to a given quadratic Diophantine equation. To make this question more formal, we need to agree …

Integers representable as binary quadratic forms

It is known that odd prime $p$ can be represented as $p=x^2+y^2$ if and only if $p \equiv 1$ mod $4$, represented as $p=x^2+2y^2$ if and only if $p \equiv 1$ or $3$ mod $8$, represented as $p=x^2+3y^2 …

A cubic equation, and integers of the form $a^2+32b^2$

I am trying to determine whether there are any integers $x,y,z$ such that $$ 1+2 x+x^2 y+4 y^2+2 z^2 = 0. \quad\quad\quad (1) $$ It is clear that $x$ is odd. We can consider this equation as quadratic …
