... Proof. Each rational value from Lemma 5 determines a possible expression for F (z). For example, for z = 0, we find from (10) that (bz)2 −2D2 z(1−z 2 ) = F (z)Qz. Since F (z) is monic, Q = 2D2 and thus, F (z) = z 2 + (b2 /2D2 )z − 1. This polynomial also divides (a1 + b1 z)2 − 2Dz(1 + z 2 ). Long di ...
