This operation unexpectedly offers an interpretation of the R\\'edei rational functions, making more clear some of their properties, and leads to another product, which generates a group structure over the Pell hyperbola. Finally, we join together these results, in order to evaluate solutions of Pell equation in an original way.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-03-19T07:33:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11A55", "11B39", "11D09" ], "keywords": [ "rédei rational functions", "pell equation", "redei rational functions", "usual product", "operation unexpectedly offers" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1103.3762B" } } }
