✦ Synopsis
The polynomial Pell's equation is X 2 À DY 2 ¼ 1; where D is a polynomial with integer coefficients and the solutions X ; Y must be polynomials with integer coefficients. Let D ¼ A 2 þ 2C be a polynomial in Z½x; where deg Codeg A: Then for pB ¼ pA=CAZ½x; p a prime, a necessary and sufficient condition for which the polynomial Pell's equation has a nontrivial solution is obtained. Furthermore, all solutions to the polynomial Pell's equation satisfying the above condition are determined.

Pell's equation is an important topic of algebraic number theory that involves quadratic forms and the structure of rings of integers in algebraic number fields. The history of this equation is long and circuitous, and involved a number of different approaches before a definitive theory was found. T
