OPEN DIOPHANTINE PROBLEMS 1. Diophantine Equations 1.1
... Even the simplest case of quadratic forms suggests open problems. The determination of all positive integers which are represented by a given binary form is far from being solved. It is also expected that infinitely many real quadratic fields have class number one, but it is not even known that ther ...
