Abstract

Let f(X, Y) be an absolutely irreducible polynomial with integer coefficients such that the curve defined by the equation f(X, Y) = 0 is of genus 0 having at most two infinite valuations. This paper describes a practical general method for the explicit determination of all integer solutions of the diophantine equation f(X, Y) = 0. Several elaborated examples are given. Furthermore, a necessary and sufficient condition for a curve of genus 0 to have infinitely many integer points is obtained.
