Abstract

Let n, a and b be positive integers. The pair (a, b) is called an integer partition of n into Diophantine pair if n = a + b, ab + 1 is a perfect square and a > b. In this paper we give, for any positive integer n, a closed formula for the number of integer partitions into Diophantine pairs.
