This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

Baker and Davenport proved that no other positive integer can replace 120 and still preserve the property that 1 + the product of any two distinct terms is a square. In particular, the sequence cannot be extended to another integer term. However, it can be extended to another rational term - see A192629. - Jonathan Sondow, Jul 11 2011
It is conjectured that there do not exist five strictly positive integers with the property that 1 + the product of any two distinct terms is a square. (See Dujella's links.) - Jonathan Sondow, Apr 04 2013
Other such quadruples can be generated using the formula F(2n), F(2n + 2), F(2n + 4) and F(2n + 1)F(2n + 2)F(2n + 3) given in Koshy's book. - Alonso del Arte, Jan 18 2011
Other such quadruples are generated by Euler's formula a, b, a+b+2*r, 4*r*(r+a)*(r+b), where 1+a*b = r^2.
Seems to be equivalent to: 1 + the product of any two distinct terms is a perfect power. Tested up to 10^10. - Robert C. Lyons, Jun 30 2016
Seems to be equivalent to: 1 + the product of any two distinct terms is a powerful number. Tested up to 1.2*10^9. - Robert C. Lyons, Jun 30 2016

Fermat gave the integer Diophantine m-tuple 1, 3, 8, 120 (see A030063): 1 + the product of any two distinct terms is a square. Euler added the rational number 777480/8288641.
It was unknown whether this rational Diophantine m-tuple can be extended by another rational number. Herrmann, Pethoe, and Zimmer proved that the sequence is finite, but no bound on its length is known.
In 2019, Stoll proved that an extension of Fermat's set to a rational quintuple with the same property is unique. Thus, the quintuple 1, 3, 8, 120, 777480/8288641 cannot be extended to a rational Diophantine sextuple. - Andrej Dujella, May 12 2024
Denominators are A192630.

Examples

			0/1, 1/1, 3/1, 8/1, 120/1, 777480/8288641.
1 + 1*(777480/8288641) = (3011/2879)^2.

Denominators are A192632. Diophantus found the rational Diophantine quadruple 1/16, 33/16, 17/4, 105/16. Dujella added a fifth rational number 549120/10201.
It is unknown whether this rational Diophantine quintuple can be extended to a sextuple. Herrmann, Pethoe, and Zimmer proved that the sequence is finite, but no bound on its length is known.
See A030063 for additional comments, references, and links.

Examples

			1/16, 33/16, 17/4, 105/16, 549120/10201.
1 + (1/16)*(33/16) = (17/16)^2.
1 + (33/16)*(549120/10201) = (1069/101)^2.
