Abstract

Many articles have appeared in the literature which deal with the problem of finding a set of four positive integers such that the product of any two different integers in the set when increased by some fixed integer n is a perfect square. Several of these articles have even examined the possibility of finding a set of four or more positive rational numbers with the same property.
