Abstract

For a nonzero integer n, a set of m distinct nonzero integers \(\{a_1,a_2,\ldots ,a_m\}\) such that \(a_ia_j+n\) is a perfect square for all \(1\le i<j\le m\), is called a D(n)-m-tuple. In this paper, by using properties of so-called regular Diophantine m-tuples and certain family of elliptic curves, we show that there are infinitely many essentially different sets consisting of perfect squares which are simultaneously \(D(n_1)\)-quadruples and \(D(n_2)\)-quadruples with distinct nonzero squares \(n_1\) and \(n_2\).
