Hilbert’s Tenth Problem

Hilbert’s tenth problem concerns finding an algorithm to determine whether a given polynomial Diophantine equation with integer coefficients has an integer solution.

Polynomial equations in a finite number of variables with integer coefficients are known as Diophantine equations. Equations like x² − y³ = 7 and x² + y² = z² are examples. For centuries, mathematicians have wondered whether certain Diophantine equations have integer solutions. Hilbert’s 10th problem asks whether there is an algorithm to determine whether a given Diophantine equation has integer solutions or not. In 1970, Yuri Matiyasevich completed a proof that no such algorithm exists.
