    Here are some simple examples of Diophantine sets.

    • The set of all even non-negative integers is defined by the Diohpantine equation

    a-2x=0

    • The set of all full squares is defined by the Diohpantine equation

    a-x^2=0

    • The set of all non-negative integers that are not full squares is defined by the Pell's equation

    (x+1)^2-a(y+1)^2=1 provided that the unknowns x and y range over non-negative integers.

    (x^2-ax-a^2)^2=1
