Pythagorean triplets: has my work been done before?












0














I've been writing a paper about generating Pythagorean triplets using functions I have not found online or in the books I've read. I believe my functions are new. They generate triplets to order and they allow me to find matching sides, perimeters, areas, and even tiles and pyramids composed of dissimilar triplets. I would like to know if I'm wasting time or if there are credits I should give.
The first function is: $$A=(2n-1)^2+2(2n-1)k:n,kinmathbb{N}$$ where $n$ is a $set$ of triplets and $k$ is the ordinal $member$ of $Set_n$. All of the other functions are $derived$ from this one. Has anybody seen this function before?



Here is a sample from which I developed the functions for A,B,C. We can see that these triplets can be viewed as members of distinct sets. (The GCD of every triplet of a given set is the square of the same odd number as are the differences between values of B and C. Also, the increment between values of $A$ are the same in each set.) This is why $A(n,k)$ is what it is. The question remains: has anyone seen this function elsewhere or has anyone ever found set groupings of this sort?

    I don't think that the functions are new, because we know exactly how Pythagorean triples are generated. But perhaps I am wrong, then you would find out by googling (searching) yourself - try it.

    Why don't you upload your work on the ArXiv? Then other people can check your work and there is a verifiable way to show that it is your work.

    arxiv.org is a website used by professional mathematicians, physicists, and computer scientists to upload their papers before they submit to a journal. It is a way to announce to the community their work and is a very good research tool. For example: arxiv.org/abs/1509.05363 is an example paper by Terence Tao

    You give an equation for $A$ in terms of naturals $n,k$ which can be computed. In the next line you say $n$ is a set of triplets. I think you have really grouped the triplets into sets, $n$ is an index to pick out a set, and $k$ is the index within the set. This is reminiscent of Cantor's pairing function.

An IMO inspired problem

Image
14 4 This problem from IMO 1988 is said to be one of the most elegant ones in functional equations. Problem : The function $f$ is defined on the set of all positive integers as follows: begin{align} f(1) = 1, f(3) &= 3, f(2n) = f(n), \ f(4n+1) &= 2f(2n+1) - f(n), \ f(4n+3) &= 3 f(2n+1) - 2f(n) end{align} Find the number of $n$ with $f(n) = n, 1 leq n leq 1988$. The main idea towards the solution is realizing that these conditions stand for the fact that $f(n)$ just reverses the digits in the binary representation of the number $n$. So, essentially the solution is finding the number of binary pallindromes $leq 1988_{10}$. My question is the following : How to reformulate the problem so that $f(n)$ reverses the digits of $n$ in its ternary representation. Or even better, can we reformulate it for a
