Review text

Using the parameters \(z\) and \(j\) as in the paper reviewed above [\textit{J. V. Leyendekkers} and \textit{J. Rybak}, ibid. 787-793 (1995; Zbl 0881.11033)], each of the triple components are functions of \(z\) and \(j\). It is claimed that for a given triple, when \(z\) is odd, \(P_n= j_n\), and for even \(z\), \(P_n= (z_n/2)^{1/2}\), where \(P_n\) is the corresponding Pellian number, the sequence being \(P_n= 2P_{n-1}+ P_{n-2}\). But the exact meaning reamins incomprehensible because \(j_n\) and \(z_n\) are not defined.
