Searching for Diophantine quintuples

Abstract

We consider Diophantine quintuples $\{a,b,c,d,e\}$. These are sets of distinct positive integers, the product of any two elements of which is one less than a perfect square. It is conjectured that there are no Diophantine quintuples; we improve on current estimates to show that there are at most $1.18\cdot 10^{27}$ Diophantine quintuples.
