Abstract

We prove that for every integer n, there exist infinitely many D(n)-triples which are also D(t)-triples for \(t\in {\mathbb {Z}}\) with \(n\ne t\). We also prove that there are infinitely many \(D(-1)\)-triples in \({\mathbb {Z}}[i]\) which are also D(n)-triple in \({\mathbb {Z}}[i]\) for two distinct n’s other than \(n = -1\) and these triples are not equivalent to any triple with the property D(1).
