On a class of diophantine equations

Cohn (1971) has shown that the only solution in positive integers of the equation Y(Y+1)(Y+2)(Y+3)=2X(X+1)(X+2)(X+3) is X=4, Y=5. Using this result, Jeyaratnam (1975) has shown that the equation Y(Y+m)(Y+2m)(Y+3m)=2X(X+m)(X+2m)(X+3m) has only four pairs of nontrivial solutions in integers given by...
