The Diophantine Equation ax+by=c

디오판토스 방정식 : 2개 이상의 미지수를 갖는 방정식의 정수해를 찾는 문제
선형 디오판토스 방정식 : ax+by=cax+by=c

  • We already proved in Theorem 2.3:
    • If d=gcd(a,b)d=gcd(a,b) , then ax+by=dax+by=d has a solution
  • 임의의 정수 d에 대해서는?

ex

  1. 3x + 6y = 18 has solutions (x,y) = (4,1) or (-6,6) or (10,-2)

  2. 2x + 10y = 17 has NO solutions since 2x+10y is even, but 17 is odd

그럼 어떤 c에 대해서 해가 존재하는가?

Theorem 2.9

ex

  1. 3x+6y=18 has solutions gcd(3,6)=3 and 318 \Longleftrightarrow gcd(3,6) = 3 \text{ and } 3 \mid 18

  2. 2x+10y=17 has NO solutions gcd(2,10)=2 and 217\Longleftrightarrow gcd(2,10)=2 \text{ and } 2 \nmid 17
